Accreditation of bloggers




I agree with Professor Ang Peng Hwa, in the report "Engaging bloggers and non-mainstream outlets" (Oct 27), that there are good reasons to grant them press accreditation, though not only due to space and time constraints at press events.
Over the past months, prominent bloggers here have almost unequivocally rejected the proposal to have an Internet code of conduct, mainly because they feel that it is a veiled effort to curtail free speech online.
