Wired News: No Protection for Bloggers



Mr. Penenberg writes that "with two reporters from established news organizations facing jail time for defying an order to divulge confidential sources to a federal grand jury, bloggers are clamoring for the same legal protection that journalists are accorded under the First Amendment."

"But they won't get it," Penenberg says. He goes on to write, "Besides, even if they did, it wouldn't be of much use."

Not very comforting to bloggers of serious news and debate.

God Bless...
