Sky News have one, so do Channel 4 News. Newspapers have been in on the act for a while, although not without some awkwardness. Jeff Jarvis talks about the crackdown on Telegraph bloggers. And earlier there was this accidental posting. [...] [...] For the past six months the BBC have hosted an Editors Blog, among others. Sky News have one, so do Channel 4 News.

A lot of criticism is leveled at reporters for failing to understand, appreciate, or respect the possibilities of the Web. But most professional reporters live in a vise on this question -- which is hardly a new one. Company policy effectively limits me to writing (on the Web) about anything but what I actually do. And anonymously at that. Looking forward to a cleverly-pseudonymed account of my daily domestic routine? Nor am I. This sort of policy doesn’t receive nearly enough attention.

The problem in organizational journalism is that the organization abhors transparency; it wants control. And so I have come to believe that it is also necessary to have someone whose role is openness. And then let the insiders compete with their openness, with the knowledge that there is always someone who can ask the uncomfortable question and give the uncomfortable answer (which, after all, is what we expect of everyone we cover).

It seemed the most painless way of doing things at the time - more a chronicle than a polished blog. But now traffic to the blog has eased off, I've re-organized it to make it an easier read. 1500 hits in 24 hours !
