Top UN envoy, Jan Pronk, was ordered out of Khartoum by the Sudanese
Government on Monday, October 23, on account of his blogging habits. He
published comments on his Web site exposing weaknesses and threats to the
Sudanese Army. His blogging enraged Sudan's armed forces, who then called
Pronk a threat to Sudanese security. Pronk had previously been warned
about his blog by U.N. headquarters. Related stories:

I’ll be on the Podcasting/Vlogging for Money Show (hosted By John C. Havens of About.com) this Wednesday, December 6 at 10:00PM EST. Listeners would do well to participate in this through Talkshoe’s software or telephone interface. Other guests include Chris Brogan and Justin Kownacki.
The subject?
It’s the age old question of “Art versus Commerce,” or “Craft or Cash.” If you podcast/videocast/create new media, should you be entitled to get paid for what you do? If so, how can you monetize successfully while not turning off your audience?
Because it’s through Talkshoe, it’s actually a live program that gets podcasted at a later date.
