Is what I'm doing wrong?

One thought on “Is what I'm doing wrong?”

1. It seems the Tampa Bay Tribune did not force its journalists to take down some blogs. They were taken down voluntarily. Blogger/Trib journo Dave has this to say (posted in its entirety because, as he says, he may soon take this offline):

   The people who sign my paychecks have informed me that they're not pleased with the Daily Dave. One of the complaints is that some of my posts on the Daily Dave compromise my objectivity and the newspaper's credibility. Since it's never been my objective to discredit myself or my employer, and because I don't know if any of my previous posts might be used to penalize me, I have decided to take down the Daily Dave, in its present form, in its entirety.
   Who ever thought the random ramblings of a nice gay Jewish boy would cause such problems?
   It would be a stretch to call this censorship, but it amounts to my voice being silenced nonetheless. If you'd like to blame someone for killing off the Daily Dave, you can blame me: I have made a conscious decision to take down the site because I'm not willing to sacrifice my career for my blog. And, quite frankly, I like receiving a paycheck every two weeks. I might feel differently about the whole matter if I were independently wealthy. (Are you listening, ye mighty Lotto gods?)
   Although the current incarnation of the Daily Dave is disappearing, please keep an eye on dailydave.com. It won't be long before the Daily Dave 2.0 is up and running, with all the news that's (a) fit to print and (b) won't get me fired.
   I will take down all of the Daily Dave content by the end of the weekend. Please enjoy one last look around before the wrecking ball comes through
