MSM notices blog problems

Today's New York Daily News has an article about the legal exposure bloggers may face:

Given their nature, blogs are particularly susceptible to litigation because they are inherently risky as publishing operations. There is typically very little operational control, the content is often deliberately designed to be provocative and it is immediately widely distributed and searchable.

Meanwhile, blogs have all the same legal exposures as traditional publishers: Bloggers have faced subpoenas seeking to unmask anonymous postings and demands from law enforcement authorities to provide names of sources and to turn over notes.
