I’m quoted in this Herald article about bloggers in Scotland.
Robert Sharp of English Pen, however, stressed that online sources and bloggers were now replacing newspapers in much of rural Scotland – putting themselves at risk.
He said: “The Highlands and Islands cannot depend on the established media to hold decision-makers to account.
“It is bloggers who plug the democratic gap, and they need a simple, clear law.
“If our rights are written in statute and not confusing case law, they would know where they stand and will be better equipped to scrutinise the people with money and power.”
