Jon Healey's Blog

Jon Healey is a well-respected reporter with the Los Angeles Times, who frequently writes about Tech and IP issues. He is careful and thorough -- down to reading both the majority and dissenting opinions in Wheaton v. Peters on whether copyright is "property." He also has a blog called Bit Player that operates as part of the LA Times online. Blogs as part of mainstream media are a hybrid affair, and Jon manages to pull his off with interesting posts, and interesting comments, especially from those in the "creative" community in LA. For those of us on the East Coast or in other parts of the country or the world, its helpful to have an LA perspective on issues, and it is the hybrid nature of his blog that makes a local angle possible.

I read the blog regularly and hope others do too.
