ps- thanks again boss, for helping publicise the mahathir book! :)
The Centre for Independent Journalism is working with independent bloggers to set up of an information clearing house
and information exchange centre. The objectives of the
group are;
-.To provide information for bloggers to protect themselves against infringements of Freedom of Expression (FOE) and to keep up-to-date with the latest developments
-.To provide an avenue for bloggers to access information of public
interest which is not available in or sufficiently covered by the mass
media.
The information exchange will be moderated, and will work through an e-group.
The proposed e-group will be based on the following regulations;
1. All posts have to be concerned with the public interest
2. Contributors can ask for an explanation if their post is rejected
3. The CIJ code of ethics will serve as the guidelines for publishing postings
4. Priority will be given to issues that are not given space in the mass media
5. Opinion will be published at the discretion of the Secretariat
"A council of elders", numbering less than 10 bloggers and comprising among others, the group owners,will be established either by election or appointment.
CIJ proposes the council members will serve for four years, whereby the after two years, the post Chairman and Vice Chairman have to be filled in by new members.
Council members can appoint successors for their respective post whereby the list of nominees will be publicized. A candidate will be appointed if he/she receives a majority support from the members.
Membership is by application to the group owners.
CIJ volunteers to be the Secretariat of the e-group.
