In a meeting about blogging for work, our new Head of Function for Capability and Culture (Dave Briggs) is looking to promote it, one of my colleagues pointed us to this article in the Guardian. It's published under his byline but he was just interviewed by the Grauniad for what he thought was an article about council websites in general. Apparently he got into trouble for it and was told that before he talked to the press again he must talk to the Public Relations team.
I feel that does have a chilling effect on any efforts to blog publically about work.
