Blog backlash over NUJ Israel boycott

Journalism.co.uk has reported that there has been a blogging backlash against the NUJ vote boycotting Israeli products, with the overwhelming majority of blogs being critical of the decision.

I do not want to go on about the actual vote and its implications, my previous entries covered that ground. What I think it clearly demonstrates though is the power of blogging. The debate has been taken online, opinions aired, discussed and either challenged or supported. Nothing new it that, but it did strike me that the same exchange of views is probably not taking place to the same extent anywhere else, with the possible exception of the NUJ offices.
