Media credentials for bloggers?
The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
- Alan Kay
Question: Should the Utah Legislature issue some kind of credential to citizen reporters?
If so, what privileges should a citizen media credential imply? What responsibilities would it imply? What would differentiate a "citizen journalist" from a random dude with a blog? Is the distinction important?
What policies should we have in place?
Utah has a thoughtful, fairly cohesive New Media community. Let's flesh out a proposal that 1) makes sense to Utah's citizen journalists and 2) is palatable to Utah lawmakers.
Or not. It's possible that any added freedom of movement would fail to mitigate the bureaucratic hassle of credentialing.
Is anyone interested in the discussion? Leave your thoughts here. Or Email me.
