CNET News.com's Declan McCullagh provides an excellent roundup of the options that Federal Election Commission is considering as it looks at how and whether to apply campaign finance laws to bloggers and the internet: say that bloggers are journalists, set a dollar limit, say the internet is radio, do nothing.
Much of the blogosphere is screaming for the "do nothing" approach. It may be that none of the other options are enforceable. I don't care for the idea of the FEC deciding who is and who isn't a journalist.
The hearing continues Wednesday.
