Yeah ... I had hoped that the debate around my pseudonymity could calm down now and I could go back to focusing on my articles, but fate (here represented by VG Anders Giæver) decided otherwise.
I had to write a longer equivalent here, but found that I really got covered most of my Twitter thread to Giæver, so you can really only read it. (Click on each tweet to see the images, 20 min which are often necessary to understand the context.)
Doremus is absolutely ridiculous coward I dauer says:
Pseudonymity - yes there you are bold Newspeak. Here's an idea, what with not being so damn coward, but to stand up with your full name when you write in the national media. Alternatively just stop, it's not like you're bringing something new to the table.
As long as one comes with factual arguments and sources that I have absolutely no problem with using pseudonyms. If the blog had driven with flaming had it been otherwise, but I think this page is well within the limits of what can be problematic.
Having said that I support Doremus completely, and think it's an important job to keep the media accountable 20 min for what they say, then I must say that the fight may seem a bit hopeless. I have the impression that most news articles distorts the truth, and within those fields I can well so I find something wrong in almost all articles. I have on occasion emailed 20 min journalist to point out mistakes, but have recently considered it a waste of time.
There are certainly some who have mentioned this earlier, but I was aware of this blog first yesterday (I do not live in Norway), the respected newspaper (which they insist on calling themselves), "The Economist", ensures that all articles are written 20 min without byline - outside the permanent sapltistene, which uses ... pseudonyms. Mostly it is just journalists who take pseudonymiet heavily: this is probably the only profession that has the opportunity to use their everyday work to build itself as a brand.
