  • As the rest of culture becomes more aware of the scope and prowess of blogging, a lot of good things are happening. But more and more bloggers are also finding themselves in legal trouble as a result of their activity.

    The goal of Electronic Frontier Foundation’s just-released (June 13th) Legal Guide for Bloggers is to provide a basic roadmap to the legal issues confronting bloggers, to inform of basic blogging rights, and to encourage all to blog freely with the knowledge that legitimate speech is protected.


    Especially useful to bloggers who report news gathered from confidential sources is the EFF's Bloggers’ FAQ on the Reporter’s Privilege.   The Bloggers’ FAQ on Media Access can also help bloggers who need to get access to public records and government meetings, as well as secure press passes to help with newsgathering.
