A New Jersey Superior Court judge recently ordered a blogger to defend her status as a journalist and explain why the state’s shield law applies to her in order to avoid revealing the names of government officials she accused of wrongdoing.
The never ending debate.
There are no journalists left.
I hereby order New Jersey to defend its status as a state.
From the article
“Prosecutors have argued that Renna cannot be defined as a journalist because she was involved in politics in the past and the blog is biased and often critical of the Union County government”
Fox News or MSNBC anyone?
As opposed to the fair-and-balanced ABC CBS NBC NY Times WaPo LA Times? LOL.
True (LOL), I went for bizarre extreme on both sides. As a journalist, I wanted to be balanced and fair.
There are, they just can’t make a very good living.
