The Media Versus Apple
Tom Foremski: numerous news orgs have filed an amicus brief in the Apple blog case. The lower court's decision, on appeal, held that Apple could force three blogging sites to reveal their sources because bloggers do not enjoy the protections afforded to journalists.
The old bloggers vs journalists debate was turned on its head yesterday when major media corporations and publishers' associations filed an amicus brief [PDF] with the Court of Appeals in the Apple v Does case. In their filing, the media companies consistently refer to the websites as "journalists," drawing no distinction between traditonal media and online reporters.
***
Signing on to the brief were the Associated Press, Los Angeles Times Communications, San Jose Mercury News, Hearst Corp., (publishers of the San Francisco Chronicle), Copley Press (publishers of the San Diego Union-Tribune), McClatchy Co. (publishers of the Sacramento Bee), and Freedom Communications (publishers of the Orange County Register).
