promoting fairness, accuracy, & balance in the news media
The “TAO of Journalism” is the subject of a terrific column by Craig Silverman in Columbia Journalism Review online:
http://www.cjr.org/behind_the_news/the_tao_of_journalism.php
Craig interviewed me for nearly an hour yesterday and posted his piece today.
He got it right — but then, he writes “Regret the Error,” so he’s always extra careful.
Comments and feedback welcome, either at CJR.org or on this page. Just TAO it!
