Must bloggers follow the rules?
Mike Elk was fired as a labor blogger for the Huffington Post because he took part in a labor disruption. The guy who fired him was earning a reported $300,000 a year. Elk was earning . . . nothing. In this posting, Elk cries foul. He says he’s providing a public service. Should a pro-bono blogger be held to the same professional standards and ethics as the rest of us?

In a perfect world, where
In a perfect world, where hacks get paid to work, there would be no such animals as pro-bono bloggers or I’ll-work-for-a-photo-credit GWCs.
But, since the world is not perfect, it seems media willing to run shit for free have no right whatsoever to expect people working for free to follow any rules and/or ethics.
You can only demand ethics from those you pay, it seems to me.
