A Bloggers' Labour Union scrambling for medical benefits to safeguard against the health hazards successful bloggers expose themselves to. And a law to shield (only those) bloggers who allow ads on their blogs against revealing confidential sources. Jesus. What has the world come to.

Journalist, blogger, eh... media junkie blogging about everything media, interspersed with the odd report on Scandinavia's many idiosyncracies.
As self-employed I work around the clock at times, so posts here will be irregular. This blog is a personal one

Comment Policy
- Comments are welcome and not pre-moderated, but I reserve the right to delete comments or plugs way off the topics this blog explores. For the sake of people's ability to listen in to the conversation I prefer comments in English, but also accept Norwegian, Danish, Swedish and German. Due to the curse of trackback spam I've had to turn on trackback moderation, but all trackbacks on topic will be accepted, apologies for any delays.

Bloggers of this world unite! We are all rent seekers, I guess, and it will never change as there is some government body to seek rent from.

Indeed, Lene.
Parminder: Interesting development, but I don't particularly like people leaving press releases in my comment field, so I've edited down your post considerably.
If there's a development you think might interest me, email me the press release or drop me a quick line actually commenting on a post that is relevant to this development. Hint: this blog has a section called 'citizen journalism'...
