Washington Post: The Real Power in Zimbabwe (Blogula Rasa)

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:56:41 GMT

There’s a great picture associated with this story, but I won’t use it because it originates with the AP. However, this story is from the Washington Post’s own Foreign Service news desk, so it’s probably okay to quote more than 5 words. Context. It’s everything. By the way, the photo on the WP story shows Mugabe [...]

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 05:09:00 GMT

Nearly two years ago on Newsbusters, I floated a proposal that newspapers require their editorial and other writers to police themselves for accuracy by requiring them to turn in footnotes with their copy. The process would force writers to check information they think they know that isn't so. Had editors at the Washington Post , Hartford Courant , Sacramento Bee and Raleigh News & Observer...
