NUJ's witness code slated by industry pundits

[Keyword: onlinejournalism]. Excellent roundup of the criticism by journalism.co.uk:

"The National Union of Journalists' code of practice for citizen journalists is being dutifully and systematically dissected by high profile web journalists, variously labelling it 'braindead', 'impractical' and a 'bloody awful mess'.

"A barrage of criticism came from Emily Bell, Simon Waldman and Jeff Jarvis at Guardian Unlimited and assistant editor Neil McIntosh gave the code a particularly brutal fisking on his blog, here and here."
