Yes and no. The conversation will no doubt be a pretty high priority for NUJ comms when the Commission has all its evidence to report on, and knows the full story (and any advocacy campaign work) to draw out of it. I don’t think they were wrong to give their members a sneak peek of the work in progress though, as so many have been feeding into this.
Agreed though, I’d like to see a higher profile from the union in engaging with the new media commentariat, though the union is its members, and a lot of those have been getting stuck in.

@johninnit - I think it is pretty inexplicable.

The Journalist may be a membership publication, but it is also an advocacy publication that should be trying to reach as wide an audience as possible.

It should probably also show some awareness of the way participating in the conversation among journalists in the blogosphere can augment its reporting.

This conversation could have started out on The Journalist’s own site instead of being passed around a number of unaffiliated blogs, including this one and Donnecha DeLong’s, which are doing nothing more than making material from the publication available to those who want to participate in the conversation.

Not *entirely* inexplicably - It is a member magazine after all, and part of what we pay our subs for, so I wouldn’t necessarily want to force them put it all up for free ;)
