Part One: the case against regulation
In my view there are five key areas which need to be explored when examining the case for regulation of this nascent sector. They are: the open internet philosophy; the inapplicability of historic rules of regulation; practicalities of enforcement; the role of Citizen/Community Journalism; and innovation.

Each day a story will be published on the site, in the most appropriate medium, which could mean a long-form magazine-style written feature on the Monday, a short video documentary on the Tuesday, an animation on the Wednesday and an audio package on the Thursday, Rosenberg explained.
Fridays will be “reserved for behind-the-scenes” material, “curating the social conversation” which has taken place over the week, he added.

The State of Digital Media: Passion, Goat Rodeos, and Unicorn Exits…. | John Battelle’s Search Blog
-
The truth is, truly passionate media creators don’t get into the media business to make huge gains from spectacular unicorn exits. When it happens, we certainly all cheer (and perhaps secretly hope it happens to us). But the fact is, we make media because we don’t know what else to do with ourselves. It’s how we’re wired, so to speak.

By working together, we can really have an impact – Helen Milner’s Blog

The project aimed to bring lots of different partners, including Sheffield City Council, Jobcentre Plus, the Department for Work and Pensions and Citizens Advice Bureau together with some of our local UK online centres, so we could work out just what we needed to do to encourage people to move transactions online across the city.

Tech entrepreneurs and Mario for business at RefreshTeesside #rftees
It’s a way of bringing all the best bits of the internet together in one place so people can really enjoy something they are passionate about.
That’s how internet entrepreneur Kevin Mann describes the latest venture he’s recently launched – audacious.me. I was fortunate enough to bump into him and Rachel Burns at the monthly Refresh Teesside event last night and persuaded them both to step out onto a rather noisey Middlesbrough Street for this short interview about the new site – and why working in the north east is good for tech companies.

Earlier in the evening Kevin gave a talk to the networking group gathered at Capaldi’s restaurant. Titled Your Princess is in Another Castle it was a humorous look at what business lessons can be learned from Super Mario. (A few notes from it noticed here).
This was the second of the Refresh Teesside events I’ve attended (interview from the first one here) and it attracted a record number of attendees despite being on one of the sunniest evenings this year. (I’ve a sneaky feeling the quality of the food provided by the host venue might have something to do with it)
The monthly get togethers started seven months ago and last night’s saw organiser James Mills announce the new website and show off some of the design work which has been going on behind the scenes to establish it as a place for the creative industries on Teesside to get together, collaborate or offer skills and services.

Is your blog ‘in the public interest’ or just ‘interesting to the public’? | journlaw
-
Many jurisdictions offer a ‘public interest’ or ‘qualified privilege’ defence for defamatory material about extremely important public issues but the publisher might not have quite enough evidence available to prove truth and other defences might not apply.
