Toby Jenkins delivered this presentation to the Inaugural Media Regulation Forum in Sydney. In it Toby discusses 3 sections: Firstly: - Who qualifies? - What impact will it have? Secondly: The 2 driving principles behind why blogs won't be silenced: 1. The incredible availability of the tools necessary to create, edit and publish content (reference Chris Anderson's The Long Tail) 2. The process of self actualisation that blogging facilitates. Finally: Toby also discusses examples of blogs: Mumbrella, Banana Watch, Timothy Ferriss, Eden Riley, Problogger, Bluewire Media, Chris Brogan, Hugh Jackman Jim Stewart

NEW POST:
You’ll Never Silence The BlogThe Impact of Media Regulation on Blogging Sites
Author: @Toby_Jenkins (CEO, @Bluewire_Media)
Who has a blog?
• 15,000+ hits per year (s11.67)
• “…more than a tenuous connection with Australia…” (s11.69)
Who Qualifies?
What might happen?
• [The oversight body] will have power to require a news media outlet to publish an apology, correction or retraction, or afford a person a right to reply.
• Failure to comply could result in an application by the complainant for a court order “compelling compliance”.
“A blog is a discussion or information site published on the WWW consisting of discrete entries (“posts”) typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most relevant post appears first.”
“As of 16 February 2011, there were over 156 million public blogs in existence.”
“You’ll never silence the voice of the voiceless.”
