Global Voices Online: The unmasking of NightJack as told by the UK blogs
I will now be cross-posting, and/or contributing occasional posts to Global Voices, the US-based founded but global community of more than 200 bloggers ‘who work together to bring you translations and reports from blogs and citizen media everywhere, with emphasis on voices that are not ordinarily heard in international mainstream media.’ Sponsors of the project can be found at this link.
My first post for the site looks at the implications of the NightJack case (which I’ve previously rounded up here) with links to some of the best UK blog posts on the subject.
“A victory for freedom of expression (The Times’)… or a severe restriction for freedom of expression (anonymous bloggers)? Popular opinion is divided, though a blog search would indicate that blogger opinion veers towards the latter.”

Here’s my first post, on the NightJack case. [...]

Thanks Judith! I hope you enjoy getting to know other Global Voices bloggers. Journalism.co.uk is a great site, so we’re happy to be able to share posts. Actually, Global Voices is based in the Netherlands, although it’s more of a nominal thing since we don’t have an office anywhere in the world. It’s true the project began in the USA, though.
Best,
Solana

Oops – apologies Solana. As you and Ethan are both based in the States I made wrong assumptions. Will amend accordingly!
