“[Frontburner's Tim] Rogers got a tip that Sherry Jacobson at the Dallas Morning News was working on a story ... and he went ahead and made the post. ... 'What do you think about that?' Rogers asked the [SMU journalism] class. 'I hadn’t made a single call.' ... If Rogers is relying on emailers whom he’s never met and isn’t taking time to do independent research and reporting, is he doing his due diligence as executive editor of D Magazine?”
Ed Cognoski responds:I may not often agree with Sam Merten's politics, but his ethics seems to be top notch. Read the rest of this story about the journalism ethics at Frontburner. It's not pretty. But it's consistent with my impression that the journalists at Frontburner value snarkiness over ... well, journalism.
P.S. Tom Pauken has blocked me from making this comment on Dallas Blog itself. But that's another story. Sigh.
