In order for this to work, ombuds need to broaden their own concept of the job and become cyberombudsmen.

If their role is to oversee the bloggers and online media sites, where does there legitimacy derive from? What will compel bloggers to adhere to the new “cyberombudsmen” office?<br /><br />-JeffMediator Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607690027146865549noreply@blogger.com
