thomas n. burg - on social media and its benefits for us, and sometimes gossip.

July 29th, 2005

Today I was invited to participate in a round table at the European Parliament. The agenda is to discuss - with lots of journalist - the issue of “Blogging and Ethics” on Sept 12 of this year. As you know I’m quite reserved on the issue of comparing bloggers and journalists. I don’t think that they have much in common. On the other hand there is obviously an interest to investigate in the blogosphere and perhaps regulate it to some extent. So it is our turn to influence and inform that debate

Questions will be answered like:
- Should bloggers follow the same rules as professional journalists.Or:
- Is it legitimate for mass media to use blogs as sources?

As you can see a bunch of very relevant topics.

I created a wikipage where I intend to gather arguments and ideas for that round table. You are more than welcome to help me collect and discuss arguments and ideas. And please circulate that post so that others find their way to the Roundtable European Parliament wikipage.
