Good question. I don’t think laws are the answer to regulation. Traditional journalist never had laws — just ethical, internal guidelines. I don’t think laws keep anyone ethical who isn’t already.

I think that ethics are contained in the person. I think the public marketplace will determine who gets a voice — if they think a blogger isn’t ethical, they can control it — stop reading.

Transparency is becoming such an expected norm in the online world, I could see bloggers regulating themselves in the near future. But in terms of improving the public perception of blogs and online content, do you think legislation must be enacted?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('26026','Case Ernsting'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('26026','Case Ernsting','Hi Gina,\r\nNow that the issue of Shield Law has marched to the forefront of journalistic debate, do you think bloggers will have to submit to more regulated rules of the journalistic world such as the ethics the Online Journalism review set forth?\r\n\r\nTransparency is becoming such an expected norm in the online world, I could see bloggers regulating themselves in the near future.

Transparency is becoming such an expected norm in the online world, I could see bloggers regulating themselves in the near future. But in terms of improving the public perception of blogs and online content, do you think legislation must be enacted?
