How to stop blogging

Nature, Jul 09, 2009

The editors of Nature present the perspective that scientists are afraid of bloggers, because they will disclose results previously only heard in the sanctity of the conference symposium. While some may suggest requiring bloggers to stay silent about what they hear, the editors are more realistic: the only way to prevent coverage is to close the session entirely. Meanwhile, the Chronicle, living in some sort of mystical non-existing world, interprets this as recommending that bloggers ignore rules imposed on journalists - as though a journalist would ever feel bound not to report on a session at a conference (or anything else for that matter).
