Hollyblog - Can Hollywood Get Blogging?
from the not-yet... dept
Salon is running a story about a new independent film that is being produced by a few folks who are into blogging. As part of the plan to get publicity for the film (which appears to be working) they hired a blogger to hang out on the set and blog the experience. The question, then, is does Hollywood get blogging? The answer, in this case, is "not yet". Everyone on the set wants input into what the blogger is writing, which is delaying any posts from going up for approximately three weeks. The blogger has a list of rules over what she can and can't write about, and is mostly being told to stay out of the way. On the whole, it sounds like the publicity stunt is more around this attempt to blog, rather than the blog itself.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
