Your Employer Owns You and Your Thoughts
JD's New Media Musings: April 24, 2003 Archives
[via Doc Searls]
The Hartford Courant has told one of its employees to kill their blog. Denis Horgan, a travel writer, was told to stop blogging because it represented a conflict of interest despite the fact that the blog is done on his own time using his own resources. The worst part about it is that the Courant's editor Brian Toolan believes for some reason that they made Horgan who he is and therefore they own his speech.
From JD's post, "I've sent emails off to Letters@courant.com and associate editor Karen Hunter, the paper's reader representative (phone (800) 524-4242, ext. 3902). I urge you to do the same."
Also via JD's log is Cosmo Macero Jr. of the Boston Herald take on the whole thing.
