NHL, NBA To Develop Blogger Policy
From the Globe and Mail:
The National Football League and Major League Baseball have established policies that impose some restrictions to live blogs. Real-time play-by-play — a detailed, written description of every play made in a game — is not allowed. And newspapers are limited to the number of photographs they can display during an event.
This summer, the NHL and National Basketball Association plan to formulate their own policies for bloggers.
Frank Brown, the vice-president of media relations for the NHL, said the league wants to set boundaries without inhibiting coverage.
"We are incredibly respectful of the voraciousness with which the digital consumers participate in NHL dialogue," he said. "At the same time, we have to be equally protective of entities that are entitled to protection. You have to serve several masters."
More later.
Thanks to Paul Kukla for the pointer.
