We continue to hope and work towards a more ethical and responsible media culture and look up to the likes of Rajpal to lead from the front. it is sad and frustrating to see them disgraced by their own actions in this manenr.

Advising you against raising the ire of the SL blogosphere, an increasingly a vocal and powerful group no longer on the periphery of media, there is, I assure you, much to be gained as a progressive mainstream print media Editor by engaging with them as opposed to taking content from blogs without attribution. Best regards, Sanjana Hattotuwa Email sent to Rajpal Abeynaike, Editor of Lakbima, today:

Dear Rajpal,

FYI – http://www.groundviews.org/2007/07/12/bloggers-and-mainstream-media-media-ethics-in-a-digital-age/

I am happy to publish an official comment from you that you can email me or post as a comment to this post.

Advising you against raising the ire of the SL blogosphere, an increasingly a vocal and powerful group no longer on the periphery of media, there is, I assure you, much to be gained as a progressive mainstream print media Editor by engaging with them as opposed to taking content from blogs without attribution.

Best regards,

Sanjana Hattotuwa
