Blog union on guard
Before the American public managed to come to terms with the news , it seems that bloggers would get exactly the same rights to access information as professional journalists, as the blogger underground stunned her with a statement about even more serious intentions. As part of the YearlyKos Convention conference this week in Chicago, a small group of web authors proposed to create a working bloggers ’association that, like a trade union, will protect the interests of its members
to advertisers and sponsors, to achieve various benefits for them and to strengthen respect and trust in the blogosphere as an important part of the modern information space.
Susie Madrak, Suburban Guerilla’s blog leader, is particularly overpowered by the latter aspect. Despite her vehement objections to the title of the ideological inspirer of the movement for the bloggers' union, which the Associated Press journalists assigned to her in their history , Suzy, however, is becoming an increasingly prominent figure. It seeks to draw the attention of the public and business to the fact that during the US presidential election campaign, bloggers can become a decisive force capable of persuading enormous layers of voters, either the so-called “problem groups” or the more distant from social activity youth.
Avoiding the stamps and labels that every activist and publications interested in her so quickly added to each phrase on the topic, Suzy does not talk about benefits in medical insurance or professional standards, that is, things that immediately come to mind when they talk about trade unions. She proposes to create a kind of distant fund, which will accumulate information about the authors who want to cooperate with it, distribute funding from sponsors between them, resolve controversial issues and help those in need.
Those who are not so sensitive to the accusations of wanting to take on too many like-minded Miss Madrak can no longer restrain themselves in expressing their good intentions, as to their emotions not inferior to the left political leaders of the last century. This is used by their fellow bloggers who are more conservative, if you can put it that way. Another thing that immediately comes to mind with the word “union” is corruption. And it is precisely on this that opponents of all formal associations of web authors play. Despite their political position, they say, a blogger is primarily a free person who takes the opportunity to express his thoughts without regard to corporate policy or the opinion of neighbors. Any attempt to introduce some kind of rigid structure into the blogosphere threatens its very foundations.

Whether any influential trade union of bloggers will be created, whether they will begin to be accepted into already existing journalistic and literary associations, the general conclusion is obvious. Blogs have truly become a powerful tool, and society is quickly moving from action to words about it. The fact that the movement to this began again in the US is quite natural, but its appearance in other countries can also be expected in the very near future.
