Do you think Ganim is worried about her journalistic integrity pending the outcome?

Why would Ganim be worried? She had sources, was told information, her employer printed said information. If her sources are found to have lied, fabricated, etc... not sure that's on her. The anger should be directed towards anyone who unlawfully leaked GJ testimony.

Except that she attributed the information sources as sources that denied they gave her any information.....if she got it from AM or anyone he solicited in his incredible marketing program to produce victims.....then she flat out lied.

Serious question - she named her sources?
 
I was going to agree with you but actually, I think she should be worried her career and reputation are on the line. So are reputations of her employers and the Pulitzer committee. Just because you receive confidential information doesn't mean you are absolved from checking the veracity of the information.

I wonder how many times Pulitzer prizes have been handed out to journalists who wrote stories based on fraudulent information?
I am not defending Ganim. I am just suggesting she reported allegations. The court/jury determined at least some of the allegations were true. But I don't think she personally made allegations and therefore don't think there will be any fallout for her.

She identified them as to source type. Read the testimony from yesterday. Every single individual of the source of the type she identified as leaking her the information has indicated they did not do so. Additionally investigations have discovered no correspondences with these parties where in a leak occurred. Which would make me, if I am an investigator.....quite interested in getting my hands on phone records and correspondence with AM (Robin HOOD) and his merry band of testimony changers as the source for the leaks....

True, but how many people in the country are concerned about the "integrity" of the Pullitzer committee?


Everyone who is concerned, please raise your hands

I'm still waiting, but I haven't seen any hands go up

At least once that is known.

Only one Pulitzer Prize has been returned - Janet Cooke of the Washington Post in 1981 - but she admitted she made up a key part of the story. This guy claims there were at least three other winners whose stories had questionable sourcing: Link There have been calls for others to be returned/revoked, but it doesn't sound like the committee was very interested in revisiting the past.

Do you think she will be 'outted'?

I know, I know: "What journalistic integrity?"

Do you think she is monitoring the goings-on closely??

Thoughts???

Not sure I think much of the guy that wrote that piece, as he appears to think Truman was a major war criminal for Hiroshima and Nagasaki (comparing them to concentration camps)--and that's his main complaint about one of the books he critiqued.
 
I think she already has been outed. Cnn has her being the jackass standing out in the snow to tell people it's snowing. Wouldn't a real reporter be doing something requiring reporting?

That's a rhetorical question, right?
 
Back to July 2011, Ganim even stole my side by side pic of Gricar and the John Doe in Utah off this site. It's the 2nd pic in her story. Couldn't she at least crop it or something; change the aspect ratio? The best part is, she mentions "bloggers" on a PPG site with a whopping 12 comments because she didn't want to draw attention here. This site started the online buzz and it was the mother of all threads, pre-Lubrano's epic thread, of course.

She is shielded under the law from having to give up her sources correct?
