Ted, RE: Online journalists barred...
And the pony express dissed the telegraph...where is the PE now.
This looks like the old boy network ganging up on the new kids in town....yet the old boys all have electronic media outlets? It looks like they want to stop an parellel growth of independents who are purely electronic until their own offerings are so firmly rooted that they will be able to control them. News starts at the source and is then sold as a feed to thousands of small print/audio/video outlets and the large groups ee the upstarts outdoing them in all areas of electronic news distribution.
Well this will only keep the e-media out of the staged dog and pony shows, they will be well able to get their men onto the floors of CeBit and ask questions and take videos(from hidden cams of course). Now if they identify themselves as from the e-times to booth operators will CeBit manglement turn them out? This turns on whether or not a perticular booth operator sees the newsie as hostile or complimentary. So I expect they will be hidden and tactful if they are going to roast a booth operator, but if they are going to praise an op they will be able to out themselves. Even so I expect some will have to wear a disguise.....a Gates setup would do fine.
