Hopefully you get email notifications like I do so if someone comments on an old post I still get notified. Anyway, I was quoted in The Oregonian newspaper here in Portland. I don't get The Oregonian...in fact, it was a friend who contacted me to let me know my "quote" was in an article about Oregon bloggers. Of course, I had to look it up to see what I was quoted as saying...and it was accurate...it was from an email I'd sent to a newspaper columnist concerning blogs. Needless to say I was thrilled, ha! I'm sorry your experience wasn't as positive. I'm quite new to your blog and I think it's great. Who says these columnists even know what they're talking about?! I just write for my own pleasure and if people come by and read it, great. And if they don't, oh well. As long as I'M amused I could care less, HA!MissKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726021829363492972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-23334268467916531792009-04-14T19:40:00.000-04:002009-04-14T19:40:00.000-04:00I just read the article. Interesting.
I must say...I just read the article. Interesting.<br /><br />I must say that in the back of my mind I do think that some things I do will make for good blogging material as I'm doing them. But I don't see anything wrong with that. I see my blog as my online diary that I'm sharing with the world. <br /><br />When I take pix that will be posted, I make sure everyone involved is okay with that ... if they aren't, I don't do it.Teena in Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14875608173791872449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-39784342590241033242009-02-07T18:16:00.000-05:002009-02-07T18:16:00.000-05:00Sounds like a bit of lazy journalism to me.

They attributed the comments to you (though yes, it would have been more appropriate to name your blog as well).<BR/><BR/>I wrote a research project on blogging, and my professor advised that I did not have to get permission to include quotes taken from blogs. I did have to cite my sources, but I did not have to ask permission (and universities have whole departments dealing with research ethics, so I think this carries some weight).<BR/><BR/>Blogrhet had a little bit on this (http://blogrhet.blogspot.com/2007/05/word-about-research-and-ethics.html). <BR/><BR/>Did they misquote you? Take your quotes out of context? If they made a mistake in interpreting our opinions, that's a big deal. And of course, if the comments are appearing in a book, there should be a proper citation. Magazine articles don't generally include citations, so it's not, in my opinion, as big an oversight there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-29690955532730635562009-01-30T05:13:00.000-05:002009-01-30T05:13:00.000-05:00How infuriating!How infuriating!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-63263669085527545912009-01-30T05:00:00.000-05:002009-01-30T05:00:00.000-05:00Am hereby boycotting the Times!I'd definitely go t...Am hereby boycotting the Times!<BR/>I'd definitely go to the PCC - as the others have said, they've picked on the wrong mommy blogger!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
