Josh Wolf is starting a service to allow people to blog from behind bars. being behind bars right now, it’s slow going, but here is the site…
Josh Wolf tells Amanda, “I may be the first video blogger to go to jail for my video blog. I’m not confident I’ll be the last.” Josh Wolf, since returned to prison, reflects on the Federal run against state and local shield laws that provide journalists and their sources protection in this interview by Amanda Congdon. He has been jailed for refusing to turn over videotape outtakes to the San Francisco police department. The SFPD receives Federal funds so the Bush administration has leveraged that to continue their assault on journalists the Billl of Rights by taking this local matter before a Federal Grand Jury.
Amanda does a good .mp3 interview and (on the vid) shares neo-slang: “What’s the dilly?”
“Commit random acts of journalism… go to jail.”
Second day on Amanda across America… top marks.
