It was big news this week when Jeremy Wright announced he was fired for blogging. Mouths agape we read about how this business/technology blogger-journalist explained what had happened.
I thought it would be fun to hear from him directly, so I asked him to sit on our blogging/journalism panel and he accepted! So welcome Jeremy!
Do any corporations allow employees to surf the web or write a personal blog on company time? Jeremy is a shameless self promoter, stunts have brought traffic to his blog not content.

Regardless of his being fired/not fired, I wanted to add a person to the panel who is more strongly identified as a blogger vs. as a journalist, in order to open the debate about the changing nature of journalism. As PR people, pitching and working with bloggers is now part of the game, I think Jeremy will offer some interesting viewpoints on this issue.

Jeremy is a PR guy and his own client.
