Mark Cuban's Locker Room Blog Policy.

Mark Cuban, who is known for being on the forefront of social media, shocked some this week by imposing a new blogging policy in his locker room. It's worth a read. He takes some shots at newspaper blogs, and marks a pretty solid defense for his policy. This does bring up some interesting issues for our group. For example...
1. Do we offer the same interviews, press releases, etc., to blog owners?
2. Related to Cuban's locker room situation, what is our policy if an army of bloggers want to be present at a news conference? Do blog writers from established media institutions get preference?(Cuban says no.)
