Are publishers making concessions for bloggers? Giving the keynote speech at the Online Publishers' Association conference today, Reuters CEO Tom Glocer hinted that Reuters is relaxing enforcement of its copyright terms as it acknowledges the value of blog debate.
Reuters boss warns old media: Just because everyone has the potential to publish their own blog, doesn't mean they're all worth reading. The role of companies like ours is to edit and filter, and provide open tools for the audience. The good stuff will float to the top.
Make the most of blog power: Freelance journalists can use blogs to fatten up features, research stories, garner contacts, market their work, earn cash and publicise projects.

Are They Taking Away Our Freedoms? Today, access to information has never been freer?and yet we seem to live in an age of deepening secrets.
More on Greek Wiretapping: It turns out that the "malicious code" was actually code designed into the system. It's eavesdropping code put into the system for the police. [...]
There is an important security lesson here. I have long argued that when you build surveillance mechanisms into communication systems, you invite the bad guys to use those mechanisms for their own purposes. That's exactly what happened here.
UK parents to get online check of 8m child workers records: The Bill, which is intended to widen and centralise the vetting of people working with children (approximately 8 million individuals), will allow (indeed, compel) employers, including parents hiring nannies and childminders, to check the records of potential employees online.

2) Over the next four to five months, MIT faculty will study the possibility of the collaboration before reaching a final decision.
3) The level of consideration MIT is giving to the pairing with Portugal is not unusual. ?We get invitations [for collaborations] every week,? Clay said.
Em resumo, o MIT ainda pode dizer que não quer nada com Portugal...
