Net neutrality is for journalists, too

My friend Brian Boyer has a great post about net neutrality on his blog, The Sixth W. He explains why journalists should care about net neutrality. What it comes down it, he says, is:

The Internet is amazing because it lets all voices be heard. If this bozo [Neil Berkett,  head of Virgin Media and net neutrality opponent] gets his way, new media will become a tool of corporations. Citizen journalism and non-profit media are toast. No money? No speech.

This is as simple, elegant and urgent an explanation as to why anyone concerned about free speech should care.
