Handbook for bloggers and cyber-dissidents

 

 

Blogs get people excited. Or else they disturb and worry them. Some

people distrust them. Others see them as the vanguard of a new

information revolution. Because they allow and encourage ordinary

people to speak up, they're tremendous tools of freedom of expression.

Bloggers are often the only real journalists in countries where the

mainstream media is censored or under pressure. Only they provide

independent news, at the risk of displeasing the government and

sometimes courting arrest.

Reporters Without Borders has produced this handbook to help them,

with handy tips and technical advice on how to to remain anonymous and

to get round censorship, by choosing the most suitable method for each

situation. It also explains how to set up and make the most of a blog,

to publicise it (getting it picked up efficiently by search-engines)

and to establish its credibility through observing basic ethical and

journalistic principles.
