What is AP's policy on unnamed sources?

I have friends who have worked for the AP who say there is a rigid policy in place regarding anonymous sourcing. So from that, one would think that any story put out by the AP with unnamed sources would have already been rigorously scrutinized.

That said, does anyone know AP's actual policy on unnamed sources? Would be interesting to see it.

Kyle, can you tell us whether the other newspapers

owned by the McClatchy chain are publicizing the stories?

Watergate

If the editors of the ADN had been running the Washington Post during the Nixon administration they would never have publicized the information provided by Deep Throat. This ADN policy is bogus. I think it is disgusting that we have to get news about what is happening with our Alaska delegation from outside sources.

I think the ADN is subject to the same sorts of cosy relationships with the political establishment that it criticises the Legislature for having with lobbyists. Pretty difficult to come down hard on a people that you have known for years, that you have dinner with, maybe even your kids or siblings have married into their families.

But Ted and Don owe this State explanations, and it is the responsibility of the press to force them to provide those explanations-social connections or not.

a quote from the editor's note

"we believe a newspaper’s credibility with its readers is its most valuable asset."

That's rich. This from the newpaper that published Veco's Voice of the Times for so many years.

What about the Bush admin?

Ok, so big oil owns Alaska's pols. But, why hasn't the investigation taken in the Bush admin.? IF the CEO/Pres. of Hunt oil is on the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board why do we even care about Big O's nose being in the Juneau circus tent?

Seems like Cheney, et al are in it up to their necks and nobody cares. Why pick on Alaska?
Is this just another Bush distraction from 'reality'? Isn't Cheney's office levitating between the reality of the exec and the Congress enough entertainment?

On the issue of 'anonymous sources' I think the ADN needs to put it on the front page and let the readers see it with their oatmeal. Beats having it drift into your consciousness from NPR before you've even had your first jolt of java in the morning!

A blog post is a good start, but insufficient

Thanks for this post - it's illuminating, and provides a useful window into your decision-making process. I regret that you weren't able to gain independent confirmation of the story; the WashPost, for example, dealt with its reservations by confirming the account with an anonymous source.

But I also have to take issue with your decision not to run any mention of the AP claim in your print edition. If you're uncomfortable with an anonymously-sourced account, that's fine. But there are two stories here that are worth reporting: that Stevens may have been taped, and that Stevens has been *reported* to have been taped. You acknowledge the newsworthiness of this latter story: "We are drawing attention to that story here because we don’t think readers of the Daily News should be the only ones in the country to not know about it."

That's absolutely right, and it suggests an alternative approach. If you're uncomfortable reprinting the AP story verbatim, why not print an original news story on the allegations it contains? Source the allegations to the AP, explain in the story that they could not be independently confirmed, and give the Senator a chance to respond (or to issue his habitual 'no comment.') When the AP story crossed the wire, it instantly impacted the career of the most important politician in Alaskan history. That's something your readers deserve to know, and not just the few who read this blog. And if the allegations are unfounded, Stevens can say so.

Sure, there's the risk of besmirching an innocent man. That's why you shouldn't simply reprint a story you can't confirm as if you know it to contain established fact. But the allegations are out there, they've changed the balance of Alaska politics, and your readers need to know that.

What about Bowles/Allen?

Is the fact that Jim Bowles knew about and participated in the conspiracy not newsworthy enough for you, either?

Seriously, I fully expected to see that on the front page, but ..... deafening silence from the ADN. Truly disappointing.

I first heard about this watching CNN on one of the televisions earlier this evening at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.

I think Pat lost his bet, what do you think?

Back in early August, I bet Pat Dougherty a burger at Alaska Burgerman on Old Seward that the ADN would be trumped time and again on these stories by outside and underground media as these interesting stories worked their way to denoument. Is there any way he can redeem the ADN at this point?

You can look up my challenge at the so-called "Editor's blog" under the WSJ heading. Does he owe me a burger or not, folks?

ABC Radio News

Just ran the Stevens story, they gave it about 30 seconds which is an eternity in rip N' read radio news.

SH - I don't know if this is news to you or not, here are some links to some information regarding a deepwater LNG facility being proposed offshore from Los Angeles.

Nice cover

"...As you can tell, I don't find this AP story to be a model of good journalism. We have seen mistakes in other AP stories, by other AP reporters, on the corruption investigations that make us skeptical of their reporting on this topic."

Please please save us from the poor journalism.....

"...Any bets on if A.P. had said that there was evidence uncovered that implicated Stevens, the editors at the ADN would be all over it?"

Today from you guys:

"...We are drawing attention to that story here because we don’t think readers of the Daily News should be the only ones in the country to not know about it."

The AP story in the past: did you even have it on adn.com?

And why no mention of the investigation on Hsu?

Here save you the trouble:

Corruption and the abject failure of Alaska media

How to deal with anonymous sources?

Let the readers decide.

Tell your readers the sources are anonymous, and then let your readers determine how credible the story is.

How sad that Alaska media could not investigate the same information that Ray Metcalf was providing the media as well as the FBI.

The unwritten story in the massive, massive corruption in Alaska is just how pathetic the major media outlets in Alaska have been in using hard hitting investigative journalism to expose this criminal behavior.

Only now, after the fact, is this subject getting the attention it deserves.

But hey, what can we expect, the ADN was a major recipient of VECO money. Better to take that money out of Alaska than to hire the reporters needed to do investigative journalism, eh?

I wonder how much money the ADN made off of the half page VECO ad (editorial) that ran in the ADN for most of the last twenty years...

And how much ad revenue has the ADN received from Big Oil over the last 20 years?

Maybe that would be a good story for Kyle to write. Bet Pat wouldn't allow it though.

Smart move on ADN

I think they're right not to make emphasis on the issue because of un-named sources from the AP. ADN cannot protect themselves unless they can verify their information. But CNN just broadcasted on TV (7:20 p.m. Alaska time) on the Alaska corruption investigations, particularly about VECO helping with Stevens home remodeling and now the "secretly taped phone conversations between Allen and Ted Stevens.

I just gotta ask.....

Seems like the gist of the material is contained in the post above.

Is this somehow "not publishing"?
