Media Blogger Pledges to Remind Us Each Friday about Freedom of the Press and Josh Wolf

Josh Wolf's and videorecorderWho's Josh Wolf and why is MiniMediaGuy blogging about him? Tom Abate who reports on tech news for the San Francisco Chronicle also writes stores in his spare time on his blog MiniMediaGuy.

If you missed the story of Josh Wolf, here's the snapshot. Josh is a independent journalist, an activist, a blogger, an anarchist and 23 year old San Francisco guy who videotaped a protest in San Francisco against the G8 Summit meetings happenning in Scotland.

It's not the videotaping that's the issue but rather the fact that he's refused to turn over his videotapes of a protest being investigated to the federal authorities in the USA.

Find out more about the trial and the events and news coverage. More info on Tom's blog here and about Tom Abate's pledge here.
