The way this story has mushroomed certainly provides an interesting case study. For the record, Chris isn't anti web but, like some bloggers, has a trenchant style. Maybe a piece on how the NUJ is engaging would be good? I think the headline foes give a certain impression. The way this story has mushroomed certainly provides an interesting case study.

But then some others are pointing to experiences they've had prior to this were the union's engagement with bloggers has been less than, well, engaging. Chris is also entitled to his opinions about blogging and of course to express them - it's more the way he went about it that got me.

I think Chris should perhaps have used the word"some" when making his point. To take this one comment as indicating that the NUJ is "anti-web" isn't a sustainable argument. There is a debate to be had about the differences between blogging and journalism, not that one is "better" or "worse" than the other, but I really think some people are overreacting here.
