« Getting It | Main | Right Then, Wrong Now » April 27, 2006Citizen Journalist Hit With LawsuitAn advertising firm that works for Maine's Office of Tourism is suing a blogger, Lance Dutson, over journalism published at the Dutson's website, Maine Web Report. The Media Bloggers Association, of which I am a board member, is fighting back. Dutson has been a big critic of the Maine Office of Tourism, and has backed his criticisms with extensive and well-reported stories published on his blog. Google News Search: Lance Dutson.

"Citizen journalist" is the wrong headline to use for this story. Lance Dutson's postings show no journalistic rigor or fairness whatsoever. Posted by: The Foresider at April 27, 2006 9:17 PMObviously you have not read his blog. I'm no journalist, but I would have to believe that fact checking would be part of good journalism protocol. Dutson repeats assertions which he knows are not true, and did no due diligence in researching the facts. His blog is little more than an infantile tirade.
