[I meant to send this out last month. It's provocative and raises
some of the hoary who's-a-journalist-and-can-get-creds issues that
are becoming important again. --Declan]

Bloggers Blur the Definition of Reporters' Privilege

By JOSH GERSTEIN Staff Reporter of the Sun

As two prominent Washington journalists struggle to avoid jail
time over their refusal to disclose confidential sources, one of the
biggest obstacles the reporters face is America's fastgrowing army of
citizen Web loggers, or bloggers.

It's not that the town criers of the online world are campaigning
to send Judith Miller of the New York Times and Matthew Cooper of
Time Magazine to prison. Rather, it's the bloggers' very existence
that undercuts the journalists' legal defense.

On Wednesday, lawyers for Ms. Miller and Mr. Cooper are scheduled
to appear before a federal appeals court in the capital to argue that
reporters should have a legal privilege not to testify about their
sources under most circumstances. A federal prosecutor investigating
whether the White House leaked the name of a CIA operative,Valerie
Plame, has asked the pair to appear before a grand jury to answer
questions.They have refused.

The crux of the reporters' contention is that the public would be
less well informed if journalists could not promise their sources
confidentiality. However, the proliferation of blogs and bloggers
could represent the Achilles' heel in this approach. If Ms. Miller
and Mr. Cooper are entitled to claim special treatment in the courts,
so too could hundreds of thousands of Americans who use the Internet
to post comments about their views on current events.

Urgent Appeal to Support Local Media in Asia, January 6, 2005

From: "Patricia Chadwick" pchadwick@internews.org http://www.internews.org
Subject: INTERNEWS FLASH: Urgent Appeal to Support Local Media in
Asia, January 6, 2005
Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2005 10:42:58 -0800


PLEASE HELP SUPPORT LOCAL JOURNALISTS AND MEDIA OUTLETS IN THE
TSUNAMI-RAVAGED AREAS OF ASIA

January 6, 2005

Rehabilitating the capacity of local media is critical to the
humanitarian response in the aftermath of the December 26, 2004
earthquake and tsunami in Asia .

As we mourn for the victims of the tsunami, Internews is seeking to
do all that we can to help and we urgently need your support!

Getting local radio stations back up and running is essential to
delivering relief and saving lives.

Local media in areas hard hit by the Tsunami are vital in assuring
that important public health and relief information reach the most
vulnerable in their communities.

Local audiences need accurate, investigated, and balanced information
in their local languages during this chaotic and traumatic time and
relief agencies need credible feedback from the communities on the
services they need to provide.

Unfortunately, most of these local media outlets, like the towns and
villages they serve, have been devastated by the earthquake and
tsunami.

We are making a worldwide appeal to individuals, foundations, and
corporations to invest in the rehabilitation of local independent
media in Aceh and Sri Lanka .
