With all the various information sources available online today many favor blogs as their primary source of news and information online. Free online news has helped to drive the growth of the internet and there is no sign of its popularity slowing. With all the various sources of information available however blogs have gained a reputation for late breaking news. This is due primarily to the fact that blogs are unencumbered concerning the accuracy of what their content contains.

A blog platform typically circumvents the traditional ‘red tape’ that can slow the delivery of news from syndicated sites. This advantage however can also work against a blog since facts may sometimes be distorted. Without any type of regulation in place blog posting sometimes tends to reflect more of the writers opinions. This leads to the question of whether blogs can be viewed as a source of reliable information.

Let’s look at both the pros and cons associated with any news or information that is dispensed from a blog platform as opposed to a regulated news site.

The PROS:

Frequently Updated

A common characteristic of blogs is that they are updated frequently. Most information found on a blog continues to ‘evolve’ due to frequent updating. Syndicated news sites contain information that tends to ‘stagnate’ since updates are far and few in between.

Fast Breaking with News

Lacking the regulations of syndicated sites that slow down the process of dispensing news or information blogs have the ability to reflect ‘real time’ information. This is a major appeal for gathering information from these sites.

Insight

Being blogs are independent entities allows them to share their insights on the news and information they deliver. These insights can present the information in such a way that may encourage readers to consider certain perspectives they may have otherwise overlooked.

The CONS:

Too Subjective

An unregulated blog platform can easily present information or news that leans heavily towards the authors’ personal opinions or perspective. Too much subjectivity can easily distort the information being delivered decreasing its real value to the reader.

Inaccurate

In a haste to ‘rush’ news inaccuracies happen. Being unregulated or unmonitored for news worthiness a certain expectation of unreliability does exist and therefore must be tolerated and expected.

Sometimes Hard to Locate

Where do you start to find the most accurate, objective, and authoritative site? Locating a credible blog site you can rely upon for its accuracy is a time consuming and uncertain task.

The only realistic test for such a site after you have located it is in fact your personal perseverance and time itself.

Upon reviewing the various pros and cons affiliated with using blogs as information sources questions remain as to their reliability. Free online news sites are typically more regulated thereby slowing their delivery of the news itself. On the other hand this also helps to validate these sites as reliable sources of information. In fact the same regulation that may slow news delivery but is absent on blogs is why a typical blog posting may be questioned as reliable information. In the end it appears that many are willing to ‘chance’ the accuracy of their news in order to receive it in a more expedient manner. In a society dominated by an instant gratification mindset this is not all that surprising.

A Blog is short for Web Log and has become a new and exciting form of communication. It is like a diary or a journal personal or corporate that is posted on the Internet for public viewing and updated from time to time. It enables people to publish comments, ideas and opinions for others to read. Besides being a personal from of expression, corporate blogs offer a platform for marketing new ideas, communication channels between management and employees, discussion of industry and media trends, news coverage and even political expressions. We also have law blogs, school blogs and marketing blogs.

Although blogs have now assumed importance a being a part of the contemporary social and corporate lifestyle, like all other forms of published expressions, blogs can be harmful. As blogs gain popularity as marketing tools, lawyers say companies have to consider the legal issues associated with them. Just like printed published materials, blogs have raised many challenging issues and are open to copyright infringement, defamation suits and privacy issues. This has necessitated companies to be aware of the legal phenomenon involved and establish ground rules to avoid lawsuits and other legal troubles.

However, law on blogs and laws on blogging still remain a gray area and there is little legal precedent for a company planning a blog site. It is only in the very recent past that courts across the country have started addressing this issue and applying the current framework of law to blogs. Courts may soon decide whether bloggers are immune from defamation suits under the Communications Decency Act. Although, slow in coming, blogs are not entirely without legal frontiers and are slowly getting conversant with the blogging problems. In the meantime blogs are multiplying and changing the way people communicate. Until the law is clarified, bloggers should know they are potentially liable for any false and defamatory speech they post online.

The first concern that comes to mind is that of libel and whether the company will run into legal problems if they start blogging. By virtue of blogging being easy to publish and correct, it is also easy for a blogger to fix the information that may be damaging or false. If you are quick enough to correct the mistake in your blog, libel, typically will not be a problem.

Although, it is not necessary for a lawyer to review every blog, some precautions won’t hurt. Run it past by a lawyer, add appropriate disclaimers and ensure that your bloggers are reliable. Another thing that you can do to avoid unnecessary claims is to have a policy for your own company blog and one for how you deal with employees who have their own.

Given the fact that a blog contains text, images, hyperlinks and even music or video files one must be aware of the intellectual property matters applicable to blogs. Issues include ownership of content, person liable for infringing material, trademark issues as well as the potential disclosure of trade secrets by employees or third parties.

Typically, the person creating the content and posting it to the blog will own the copyright. In the case of a company, it owns the content posted by an employee and has the right to redistribute or reuse it for other purposes. The company may also acquire the copyright for the content.

If the infringing content is posted to a corporate blog that is operated by an employee then both, the business and the person posting the content could be held liable. However if the content is on a personal blog, the risk to the company is minimal.

Just as with other publish material, the title of the blog may be in question if it copied form another trademark. Additionally, the use of the company’s trademarks or the trademarks of other companies in blog posts could also give rise to liability. It would be better for the person initiating the blog to clear the trademark issues beforehand so as not to cause infringement problems.

Confidential issues and trade policies should be strictly kept off blogs. Employees should be warned of public disclosure of sensitive information as well as made aware of intellectual property rights. Posting of such information may create liability issues and strict policies regarding these should be laid down from the beginning.

When advising clients, lawyers should emphasize the use of common sense and the application of existing legal rules and corporate policies to business and employee blogs. This strategy should go a long way toward protecting the business that ventures into this new medium.
