Such articles need to be brought into more public notice. Why don’t you post your articles in allvoices (http://www.allvoices.com/incentive/advertising) so that you can raise awareness.

I think she is calling it a security threat just to get attention to her comments. However, I do believe that if we get too used to purchasing 3rd party resources for information, our control over the supply of information will be compromised.

I would have thought that blogs and web 2.0 technology would make a journalist’s job easier. I don’t really understand why this is a security threat either. I guess I am missing something here.

I think she is trying to say that because journalist aren’t able to cover international news well enough our national security is at risk. In other words, she thinks that jornalists play an important role in international intel. Perhaps, journalist uncover international issues that our government would not know about otherwise That’s quite a stretch if you ask me… I suppose it is possible though. .

Very much possible! And worst is the case if they are managing own blogs as well… How many technical things a typical blogger writer has to worry about.

Blogging is grown from simple type-in-whatever-I-feel-like mode to more technical thing that audio/video/images and other media aspects need to be incorporated as well. On top of that you need to also moderate and approve comments and reply to your emails. It can easily take the focus away from your main focus of ‘writing’ to something else.

Quite how the “decline in American newspapers is a major national security threat,â€ she said would have sounded better had she elaborated. The security threat that blogging can cause has so far not elaborated on anything to do with foreign correspondents! Frankly, I fail to understand the point that she is making.
