Freedom of (Blog) Speech?
Wired reports "You're Athletes, Not Journalists":
"Participants in the games may respond to written questions from reporters or participate in online chat sessions -- akin to a face-to-face or telephone interview -- but they may not post journals or blogs until the Games end Aug. 29."
From Louise. I don't understand the rationale for this...online chat but no blog?
From Joho - 'Express your Opinions, Get Fired', "Man who heckled Bush at Hedgesville rally fired from job" located here.
"Hiller said he was "shocked" to find out that his actions at the rally led the loss of his job. But if he had to do it over, Hiller said, he would have done the same thing.
"There is no venue for the regular guy to ask a question,' Hiller said. "We don't have access to people in power. And those events are completely scripted and controlled."
Good point, though I think he should try blogging. Though apparently we should be quite careful about what we say, and consider what we can and cannot blog...scary.
