Would it be ethical if someone working for say News launched an anonymous blog that only found faults with a certain page of his own newspaper.

Here I was just writing a mild-mannered, light-ish post about the weather!<br /><br /><b>@Anon826:</b> Hey, don't get your knickers in a twist. If we're so irrelevant, why do you keep reading us? You know you could just stop...<br /><br /><b>@Nizamuddin Siddiqui:</b> Mr Siddiqui, we have explained the reasons behind keeping this blog anonymous a number of times before. But what I don't understand is what compels anyone to read us if they think we are unethical or unfair - I mean, it's not like we're forcing anyone. Everyone is free to decide whether or not to give credence to our point of view. Which makes your statement that "Nameless and faceless people should not be allowed to pick apart work.." all the more surprising. I am not quite sure what you mean by "should not be allowed." Unless you wish to imply that the government should block us, the simplest solution for all those who don't like us "picking apart" things in the media, is not to visit us. It's <i>our</i> blog, tough luck, we certainly have no intention of stopping.XYZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17120968316026139059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110720279777344316.post-91477537796390973362010-06-04T23:52:31.858+05:002010-06-04T23:52:31.858+05:00I am 100 per cent with you, Anonymous.

Otherwise, whatever you said was good.

Pyala's pieces are written by faceless and unnamed people who could be from the same news organisations whose output they comment on. Doesn't that translate into the worst kind of clash on interest? The people who respond to the Pyala blogs are also mostly anonymous. Compare that with the fact that all news organisations have established their credibility in varying degrees through years, even decades, of hard work. Pyala should be welcome to comment on other people's work provided it gives the names of its writers. And we should be told who the owners are? Otherwise, in my view they are out to grind their axe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
