Restoring the Ideal Marketplace: How Recognizing Bloggers As Journalists Can Save the Press
\\server05\productn\N\NYL\9-2\NYL202.txt unknown Seq: 1 17-OCT-06 15:39 RESTORING THE IDEAL MARKETPLACE: HOW RECOGNIZING BLOGGERS AS JOURNALISTS CAN SAVE THE PRESS Joseph S. Alonzo* INTRODUCTION In May 2006, a California state appeals court became the first court to explicitly recognize that Internet journalists are afforded the same journalist’s privilege granted to traditional print and broadcast journalists.
