That's been known about for a long time. He has had blog entries talking about his loss of speech, what it would take to get it back, options for technological replacements like voice to speech, and so on. He has also spoke about his own morality.

I mentioned that it was sort of a relief to have that full-page photo of my face. Yes, I winced. What I hated most was that my hair was so neatly combed. Running it that big was good journalism. It made you want to read the article.

One strange result was that many people got the idea that these were my dying words. The line Chaz liked least referred to the time he has left. A blog reader said he hadn't realized I was so frail.
Well, we're all dying in increments. I don't mind people knowing what I look like, but I don't want them thinking I'm dying. To be fair, Chris Jones never said I was. If he took a certain elegiac tone, you know what? I might have, too. And if he structured his elements into a story arc, that's just good writing.

(note: Chaz is Ebert's wife) His blog is pretty good, he covers a range of topics.
And I like his review style. He has said when he reviews he tries to keep in mind the type of person who enjoys that type of movie and what the movie is trying to achieve. If a movie is a summer action thriller he doesn't try to measure it against an Oscar hopeful, he keeps in mind the audience who will probably go see it and writes his review trying to let those people know what they will see. So even if the movie does have a lot of issues, will it be satisfying to the audience who will go to see it? That is what he tries to do.
