Olympic Games Doesn't Want You To Blog

Here’s one example from Shel Holtz of blogging where you don’t want to claim the mantel of citizen journalist, the Japanese Olympic Committee has recommended its athletes don’t blog during the Olympic Games. An athlete’s blogging practice could be construed as a journalistic practice, and that’s against the rules of the Games for athletes. How ironic for a blogger who wants to claim the mantel of citizen journalism that by doing so, they may face disqualification from the Olympic Games.
