Americans Divided on Free-Speech Rights for Internet ‘Bloggers’

Redcardlibrarian writes “From the PRNewswire. As blogs compete for credibility among established media, respondents to a new national survey say they’re torn between supporting full First Amendment rights for bloggers and favoring some limitations on bloggers’ content.

In the poll, commissioned by global Web-Hosting and managed services provider Hostway ( http://www.hostway.com ), more than 50 percent of respondents who shared their opinions on First Amendment rights said bloggers should benefit from the same First Amendment liberties and protections as professional journalists. (Fifty-two percent agree, and 21 percent disagree.)
