AP To Meet With Blogging Community On Guidelines

June 17, 2008

The AP has reported that they will hold a meeting with bloggers.

The idea behind the meeting is to create standards for online use of AP stories by bloggers.

The standards will protect content created by the AP, while still allowing bloggers to quote from the stories.

This has sparked a lot of criticism toward the AP by the blogging community to say the least.

Many who have fought back against the AP for this move state that the AP is missing the fact that many bloggers actually give links back to the source of their stories.
