The Growing Unpublishing Trend

When you decided to remove less than flattering items from your website or blog, it has an official name: "unpublishing." Some argue the practice is not worth the effort -- Google already has a copy -- and gives the impression that there may be more to hide than was originally there.

Common Sense Journalism is a blog by Doug Fisher out of University of South Carolina. Along with being a good overall read, he recently gave thoughts on the trend.

Reminds me a bit of the Regret the Error info we've had in the past of seeing mistakes in copy mysteriously disappear rather than note the corrections.
