An extension of the Common Sense Journalism monthly column by Doug Fisher, former broadcaster, newspaper reporter and wire service editor. From new media to old, much of journalism is just plain common sense.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." - Unknown (often improperly attributed to Thomas Jefferson)
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair
"Common sense is not so common" - Voltaire
"Common sense is instinct; enough of it is genius" - George Bernard Shaw
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has a good Legal Guide for Bloggers outlining the issues.

OK, so it looks like the MP3s of the new White Stripes album I've had available for download could get me in trouble.
And I guess calling my boss a child molester without any real proof could be a hot-water item, too.
Luckily, the cell-phone pics of public nudity still seem to be OK.
Whew.
And specific homeland-security threats I've made have been removed.
Thanks for the heads-up!
