              MEP Tries to Certify Bloggers
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008
Via Blairwatch | We earlier reported an initiative about the EU certifying bloggers. EU Observer has an interesting report about the outcry from this, correctly noting that this is just a proposal at the moment. However, further down the report they do quote the proposal’s originator, Ms Mikko MEP (Who hasn’t replied to our email) saying Ms Mikko clarified her intentions: “We do not need to know the exact identity of bloggers. We need some credentials, a quality mark, a certain disclosure of who is writing and why. We need this to be able to trust and rely on the source.”"The Economist is a valuable brand, its articles are trusted by readers without contributors having to reveal their names,” she said. “If there is a way to validate the best bloggers the same way that publishing in the Economist validates its writers, it should be done.”
“It is clear that a Harvard professor of international relations is likely to treat, for instance, the Middle East peace process or European integration in an educated and balanced manner,” she added. “The same trust cannot be put in a radical high school student from Gaza or a Eurosceptic who has never been out of his village” “The reader should know why this or that blogger should be trusted on a particular issue.” So, there you have it; there is a plan to have bloggers ‘Officially Certified’ by the EU. Lets hope sanity throws this idea onto the dustbin of history where it belongs. In the meantime, Ms Mikko can find our response by referring the reply given in Arkell Vs Pressdram.
