Media Culpa

Swedish IT publication Computer Sweden today started a blog. But where are the permalinks and the RSS feed???

German business paper Handelsblatt has three blogs; Wirtschaftsprüfer, Ad Hoc and Transatlantischer Beobachter.

Try the “Transatlantic Observer” in English via Babelfish.

New York attorney general Eliot Spitzer yesterday used his blog to announce that he is running for governor in New York. This is an unconventional approach since most politicians normally make these announcements in speeches or in a statement.

His blog uses RSS and allows comments. CBS has more on the story.

I am a finalist in the 2004 weblog awards, in the category for best European, non-UK blog. If you like my blog, please cast your vote here and spread the word. You can vote several times, but only once every 24 hours. Voting ends on Dec 12.

Thanks to fellow PR blogger Neville Hobson for bringing it to my attention. His excellent blog is in the final too.

The story about journalist Per Gudmundson’s blog is far from over. Tobias Billström of (m) the Moderate Party just now asked (interpellation) Leif Pagrotsky, Minister for Education and Culture:

> if he thought that freedom of speech does not include employees of a public service company?

> if he thinks that individual journalists employed in public service companies can not express views in public, even if they are not in direct connection to the work that they do as employees at SVT?
