Editorial Omerta

serveandprotect.jpgGood editors protect their staff-to a point, writes David S. Hirschman.
“Slate columnist and New York University professor Adam L. Penenberg says the contemporary journalism scandals have changed the protective nature of editors. ‘Before an editor will stand by a reporter, he is going to perform due diligence. If, say, a reporter uses an anonymous source, the editor is not going to take the reporter’s word anymore, he’s going to demand to know the identity. I think in the past editors had a reflexive need to show loyalty. Nowadays, because of Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair, Jack Kelley, editors have a much more skeptical attitude.’”
