The prize-winning series that won the New York Times Co a Pulitzer has an interesting backstory. The series, published in Jan 2003 after an investigation by the Times' David Barstow and Lowell Bergman, WGBH's Frontline, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corp, exposed safety violations that led to injury and death at pipe foundries owned by McWane Industries. Now, Mike Adams, a McWane Industries subcontractor is filing, a libel suit in which he disputes the credibility of the Times' sources, denies quotes attributed to him, and claims his business was destroyed. But Charles Babcock, a Dallas-based lawyer who represents the Times, said that the research was incredibly thorough, the people involved were dedicated, diligent, and conscientious and the plaintiff is almost surely a public figure.
RPHP's allegations about elevated cancer rates in the area around Vermont Yankee were circulated to the press just as the debate over nuclear-reactor safety was coming to a head in Windham County. Last week, the Vermont Public Service Board (PSB) approved a request by the owners of Vermont Yankee to boost the plant's power output by 20 percent. If the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) signs off on the power "uprate," Vermont Yankee will become the oldest nuclear reactor in the country to attempt a power increase of this scale. Vermont's health officials are not the first ones to look at [Joseph Mangano]'s findings with a skeptical eye. An article about RPHP in the November 11, 2003 issue of The New York Times notes that despite the fact that the group's members have published ...

Col. Sam Gardner, who's taught at the National War College, recently sketched out the plan as it could unfold: "As one of the last steps before a strike, we'll see USAF tankers moved to unusual places, like Bulgaria. These will be used to refuel the U.S.-based B-2 bombers on their strike missions into Iran. When that happens, we'll only be days away from a strike. Israel, of course, has been making plenty of hay out of President Ahmadinejad's crack about how "the regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the pages of time." Along with the recent "holocaust conference," it's probably the biggest leg-up for Israeli bond drives since the Yom Kippur war. Prime Minister Olmert quotes it on an almost daily basis. Air Force credibility is low at the moment. [Curtis LeMay]'s heirs told [Geor...
Accounting firms Accounting firms should maintain good media relations because having articles or quotes published can increase a firm's credibility and establish its reputation for expertise. The firm member responsible for media relations must identify the appropriate contact person, be aware of what is considered important enough to rate a story and know the audience and topic focus of the publications approached. The firm should be cooperative and compromising to maintain good relations. Techniques for preparing articles are included.
IN HIS quest for credibility and support of his vacuous arguments against 4WD drivers, John de Bueger (March 24) quotes two anonymous Scottish Green MPs, who presumably have much experience cleaning up the accumulation of industrial filth in their own country. I reckon his arguments would have had more credibility if he'd just stuck with "they reckon" as a source.

[...] while stories about social disorder have always been emphasized, technological disorder, which "concerns accidents cannot be described to nature," and moral disorder, which "reports transgressions of laws and mores which do not necessarily endanger the social order," are also pertinent to science and medical reporting.20 Sources play a substantial role in focusing journalists' attention on social order because their values are implicit in information they provide.21 While journalists do not necessarily adopt those values, neither do they refute them. [...] stories about cloning or euthanasia tap into values Americans hold and many journalists acknowledge, including concerns about "playing God" by tinkering with processes that create or end life.

What happens to the educated elite once they leave their training grounds? Certainly, they don't want to rock the boat, since their privilege is contingent on the system continuing. "[Barack Obama] is a product of this elitist system," [Chris Hedges] says. "So are his degree-laden cabinet members. They come out of Harvard, Yale, Wellesley, and Princeton. Their friends and classmates made huge fortunes on Wall Street and in powerful law firms. They go to the same class reunions. They belong to the same clubs. They speak the same easy language of privilege, comfort, and entitlement." They are not creative enough to think their way to a new system. Echoing Walter Kirn's recent criticisms in Lost in the Meritocracy, Hedges reserves his sharpest barbs for how the elites spend "their entire l...
