WaPo’s Reliable Source Notoriously Late, Won’t Attribute - FishbowlDC:

ANALYSIS, FAIL WaPo’s Reliable Source Notoriously Late, Won’t Attribute By Betsy Rothstein on April 26, 2012

"WaPo‘s flagship gossip column “The Reliable Source” isn’t exactly setting a good example these days. Sure, we know it’s loathsome to have to attribute to someone else.

But that’s the breaks and the way it goes if you want to be respected by your peers.

But “The UnReliable Source” plays by its own rules... http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/wapos-reliable-source-notoriously-late-wont-attribute_b71579

Olesker North Baltimore Patch: WBAL News Director's Departure Another Blow to Local News

    Olesker: WBAL News Director's Departure Another Blow to Local News

    Priorities have changed for radio newsman Mark Miller. "I want to have dinner with my wife and child,” he says.

    In the springtime of his 52nd year, with an Air Force wife home from the war and a daughter desiring his attention, Mark Miller says he’s leaving WBAL. It’s a body blow to local radio, which needs all the good news people it can find.
    Frankly, it needs any news people at all.
    Miller, who grew up in Woodlawn, has spent three decades at WBAL. The last 21 years, he’s been news director there, keeping the coverage straight no matter how conservative the station’s surrounding talk shows have gotten. And he’s kept the coverage as comprehensive as possible despite any newsroom depth.
    As everybody knows, the practice of news-gathering is going through some remarkable changes, much involving downsizing.
    "The business,” Miller acknowledges, “has changed.”

    Kevin Dayhoff The Tentacle: The 800-pound gorilla in the room... Free Speech and Despicable Acts

    Free Speech and Despicable Acts
    Kevin E. Dayhoff
    The 800-pound gorilla in the room at the funeral of Marine Staff Sgt. James M. Malachowski was whether or not members of the Westboro Baptist Church were going to be the “uninvited guests” at the solemn occasion.

    Well, not to worry, members of the Patriot Guard stood silently on the front sidewalk at the funeral home with a large American flag and at the church for the funeral. I wrote about it at some length in The Carroll Eagle:..  http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4328

    Kevin Dayhoff The Tentacle: Where do we get such men?

    April 6, 2011

    Where do we get such men?
    Kevin E. Dayhoff
    There are no words that can adequately describe the valor of the young men and women who are currently fighting and dying in the Middle East for our country.

    While covering the funeral of Staff Sgt. James M. Malachowski for my newspaper, in the last several weeks, I could not help but think of the famous quote when I wrote on TheTentacle.com about reporting on the funeral of Marine Staff Sgt. Charles Isaac Cartwright: “Where do we get such men?”  http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4326

    Undercover Massachusetts State Police officers walked into the offices of The Barnstable Patriot Feb. 3 and walked out with one of its reporters, later charging him with possession with intent to distribute a class D substance.

    J. James Joiner Jr., 35, has worked as a Patriot reporter since September, and had worked on a freelance basis for several months prior to that. He lives in Cotuit.

    This Week in Review: The WikiBacklash, information control and news, and a tightening paywall

    This Week in Review: The WikiBacklash, information control and news, and a tightening paywall

    By Mark Coddington /  Dec. 10  /  10 a.m.
    The Nieman Journalism Lab is a collaborative attempt to figure out how quality journalism can survive and thrive in the Internet age. (More.)
    http://www.niemanlab.org/2010/12/this-week-in-review-the-wikibacklash-information-control-and-news-and-a-tightening-paywall/
    [Every Friday, Mark Coddington sums up the week's top stories about the future of news and the debates that grew up around them. —Josh]
    Only one topic really grabbed everyone’s attention this week in future-of-news circles (and most of the rest of the world, too): WikiLeaks. To make the story a bit easier to digest, I’ve divided it into two sections — the crackdown on WikiLeaks, and its implications for journalism.
    Attacks and counterattacks around WikiLeaks: Since it released 250,000 confidential diplomatic cables last week, WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange, have been at the center of attacks by governments, international organizations, and private businesses. The forms and intensity they’ve taken have seemed unprecedented, though Daniel Ellsberg said he faced all the same things when he leaked the Pentagon Papers nearly 40 years ago.
    Here’s a rundown of what’s happened since late last week: Both Amazon and the domain registry EveryDNS.net booted WikiLeaks, leaving it scrambling to stay online. (Here’s a good conversationbetween Ethan Zuckerman and The Columbia Journalism Review on the implications of Amazon’s decision.) PayPal, the company that WikiLeaks uses to collect most of its donations, cut off service to WikiLeaks, too. PayPal later relented, but not before botching its explanation of whether U.S. government pressure was involved.
    On the government side, the Library of Congress blocked WikiLeaks, and Assange surrendered to British authorities on a Swedish sexual assault warrant (the evidence for which David Cay Johnston said the media should be questioning) and is being held without bail. Slate’s Jack Shafer said the arrest could be a blessing in disguise for Assange.
    WikiLeaks obviously has plenty of critics: Christopher Hitchenscalled Assange a megalomaniac who’s “made everyone complicit in his own private decision to try to sabotage U.S. foreign policy,” and U.S. Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Joe Lieberman called for Assange and The New York Times, respectively, to be prosecuted via the Espionage Act. But WikiLeaks’ many online defenders also manifested themselves this week, too, as hundreds of mirror sites cropped up when WikiLeaks’ main site was taken down, and various online groups attacked the sites of companies that had pulled back on services to WikiLeaks. By Wednesday, it was starting to resemble what Dave Winer called “a full-out war on the Internet.”
    Search Engine Land’s Danny Sullivan looked at the response by WikiLeaks’ defenders to argue that WikiLeaks will never be blocked, and web pioneer Mark Pesce said that WikiLeaks has formed the blueprint for every group like it to follow. Many other writers and thinkers lambasted the backlash against WikiLeaks, including Reporters Without Borders, Business Insider’s Henry Blodget, Roberto Arguedas at Gizmodo, BoingBoing’s Xeni Jardin, Wired’s Evan Hansen, and David Samuels of The Atlantic.
    Four defenses of WikiLeaks’ rights raised particularly salient points: First, NYU prof Clay Shirky argued that while WikiLeaks may prove to be damaging in the long run, democracy needs it to be protected in the short run: “If it’s OK for a democracy to just decide to run someone off the internet for doing something they wouldn’t prosecute a newspaper for doing, the idea of an internet that further democratizes the public sphere will have taken a mortal blow.” Second, CUNY j-prof Jeff Jarvis said that WikiLeaks fosters a critical power shift from secrecy to transparency.
    Finally, GigaOM’s Mathew Ingram and Salon’s Dan Gillmor made similar points about the parallel between WikiLeaks’ rights and the press’s First Amendment rights. Whether we agree with them or not, Assange and WikiLeaks are protected under the same legal umbrella as The New York Times, they argued, and every attack on the rights of the former is an attack on the latter’s rights, too. “If journalism can routinely be shut down the way the government wants to do this time, we’ll have thrown out free speech in this lawless frenzy,” Gillmor wrote.
    WikiLeaks and journalism: In between all the attacks and counterattacks surrounding him, Julian Assange did a little bit of talking of his own this week, too. He warned about releasing more documents if he’s prosecuted or killed, including possible Guantánamo Bay files. He defended WikiLeaks in an op-edin The Australian. He answered readers’ questions at The Guardian, and dodged one about diplomacy that started an intriguing discussion at Jay Rosen’s Posterous. When faced with the (rather pointless) question of whether he’s a journalist, he responded with a rather pointless answer.
    Fortunately, plenty of other people did some deep thinking about what WikiLeaks means for journalism and society. (The Atlantic’s Alexis Madrigal has a far more comprehensive list of those people’s thoughts here.) Former Guardian web editor Emily Bell argued that WikiLeaks has awakened journalism to a renewed focus on the purpose behind what it does, as opposed to its current obsession with the models by which it achieves that purpose. Here at the Lab, USC grad student Nikki Usher listed a few ways that WikiLeaks shows that both traditional and nontraditional journalism matter and pointed out the value of the two working together...  http://www.niemanlab.org/2010/12/this-week-in-review-the-wikibacklash-information-control-and-news-and-a-tightening-paywall/
