Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has instituted a new policy banning full-time bloggers from the team's locker room, drawing an official protest from The Dallas Morning News, which employs the only writer so far banned.

ONA president, Jonathan Dube was asked to comment.

"Jonathan Dube, president of the Online News Association and director of digital media for the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., declined to comment on the specific case but said that, in general, it's unfair to treat professional journalists who blog differently from other professional journalists."
