Blogging And Transparency

Ben DeGrow has an interesting post detailing liberal RMN columnist Jason Salzman's call for full blogger disclosure--in the name of credibility and a sense of separation from "professional journalism standards."

As I commented on Ben's blog, coming from the MSM–where editorials are unsigned, wire stories often unbylined, and even named writers obscure, often omitting any semblance of identity or disclosure, and even rather poor "journalistic standards"--it seems awfully arrogant to demand “full disclosure” from bloggers.
