Editing and the Web, continued
This article from the (London) Times online deals with an issue similar to the one in Melissa's entry below. Although it focuses on the controversy over those cartoons published in Denmark, the last few paragraphs deal more specifiically with why the web has become such a valuable and contentious/contested resource in recent years. The author (Andrew Sullivan, surprise!) notes that no one is "editing" Web content the same way someone edits print journalism, but in many cases the press is so edited and produced (if not outright censored), that the Web and the blogosphere are really the only places to go to find actual information. It's a question of who/what you trust.
