Effect Measure carries a story about a
New York Times article that used a blogger (Dr. David Michaels at
The Pump Handle) as their primary source [
New York Times uses story, neglects to mention blogger is the source]. Their excuse is that the reference was cut out of the article by an editor. Shame on you,
New York Times.
PZ Myers is also angry [
Time for another blogger ethics review panel].
A few years ago (2000) Jeff Jacoby of the Boston Globe substantially used an anonymous email message as the basis for a column without attribution and he was suspended for four months. Will the NYT give a similar penalty to the author of this article?
