Mõned päevad tagasi lugesin The Guardianist artiklit, mis jutustas internetieetikast ning mainis muuhulgas ka mu europarlamendis koostatud meediaraportit. Raport, muide, võeti täna täiskogus ka vastu. Ent sellest pikemalt juba järgmises postis.

The Guardian’i ajakirjanik Marcel Berlins kirjutab oma artiklis järgmist:

“It is that anonymity that’s at the hub of a debate and vote that takes place in the European Parliament tomorrow. An Estonian MEP, Marianne Mikko, is worried that a growing number of blogs are written with “malicious intentions or hidden agendas”. She proposes that bloggers identify themselves and declare any interests they have in the issue they’re writing about. Her concerns should be taken seriously. We, the readers of blogs, do not, and normally cannot, know who lurks behind the funny nickname. We need more information about the writers so that we can decide how seriously to take their opinions. Has she a personal stake in whatever it is under discussion? Does he belong to a dodgy or extreme campaigning body? Is she the sister of the owner of the restaurant she’s recommending? Does he bear a personal grudge? We don’t know.”
