Synopsis

The increased popularity of Weblogs, or ""blogs,"" has prompted many questions: Should blogging about a candidate be considered a political advertisement, subject to campaign finance laws? Should bloggers receive the same access to public officials and events as traditional journalists do? Should schools be able to regulate their students' blogs? ""Blogging"" tackles these issues by examining this hot-button topic from different angles. Full-color photographs, comprehensive sidebars, and relevant elements of the argument add value to this useful new resource for students of current issues.
