Retaliation: Blogger Posts Names, Addresses of Journalists After Post on Gun Owners

A blogger has retaliated against a New York newspaper for publishing an interactive map of gun permit holders by posting personal information about the paper's employees.

Blogger Christopher Fountain, who primarily covers real estate news on his blog, 'For What It's Worth,' published the names, home addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, Facebook pages and twitter handles of nearly every Journal News employee on Wednesday.

The move was in retaliation against the newspaper's decision to publish the names and addresses of gun permit holders in Westchester and Rockland counties.

The paper, which is commonly referred to as LoHud for its coverage in the Lower Hudson Valley, defended its decision by saying that in the wake of the Sandy Hill Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, residents have the right to know who has legal licenses for weapons in their area.
