I’ve a different view than Josh about the most important lesson of his imprisonment. His focus is the legal situation of journalists in the States, whereas I see more of a threat to the web as a participative space.

From a human rights perspective, my proposition is that we drop the category of journalist all together and find other terms for our right to participate and to be heard. As i ask in the post “In harsh times, is it enough to be reporters, or do we need to become defenders?”

I would welcome a debate with those who are active in the field of citizen journalism.
