Blogging Athletes At Beijing Olympics?
News February 10th, 2007
International Olympic Committee (IOC) is looking at allowing Olympics athletes to blog and express their views, feelings and rantings during the Beijing Olympics Games through their blogs.
It’s a delicate issue. The IOC doesn’t want to step on the toes of the traditional media, and there’s a fear the athlete’s village could turn into a battle zone of dueling blogsters.
The combined charisma of the athletes’ blogs can attract millions of eyeballs and this in turn, can generate lots of cash for everyone. But even if they are allow to blog, will their blogs be censored? Probably.
