Online reporting witchhunt?
Well, given the protective nature of the news business, I suppose we'll start to see more and more online journalists' (and bloggers) credibility being called into question. Is this just a fashionable manuever by existing news operations to protect their turf, and discredit any non-traditional means of news reporting? The "Not Invented Here" Syndrome?
Ted Bridis of the Associated Press writes in an article which appears on Yahoo! News that:
An investigation over the sourcing and accuracy of news stories by a freelance journalist at a leading Internet news site concluded that the existence of dozens of people quoted in the articles could not be confirmed.
Wired News, which publishes some articles from Wired magazine, paid for the review of stories by one of its frequent contributors, Michelle Delio, 37, of New York City. It was expected to disclose results late Monday.
