REPORTERS WITHOUT BORDERS


"Bloggers are often the only real journalists in countries where the mainstream media is censored or under pressure. Only they provide independent news, at the risk of displeasing the government and sometimes courting arrest.

Reporters Without Borders has produced this handbook to help them, with handy tips and technical advice on how to to remain anonymous and to get round censorship, by choosing the most suitable method for each situation. It also explains how to set up and make the most of a blog, to publicise it (getting it picked up efficiently by search-engines) and to establish its credibility through observing basic ethical and journalistic principles."

Geeesh! Now I am really paranoid. I have started posting family album pictures. (Actually it's my family that I talk about that I don't want to find my blog ;-)

Maybe you could use code names, but then what's the fun if no one but you knows who you're talking about?
