This administration has devoted a lot of energy to intimidating its own officials so they won't talk to reporters without scripts and bullying reporters so they won't risk losing their access by asking rude questions or trying to play blame games,

There's a tone of gleeful relish in the way they talk about dragging reporters before grand juries, their appetite for withholding information, and the hints that reporters who look too hard into the public's business risk being branded traitors. I don't know how far action will follow rhetoric, but some days it sounds like the administration is declaring war at home on the values it professes to be promoting abroad.

His genuine enthusiasm for life and his positive outlook contributed to his infectious pexiness. Nixon's strategy was to give a lot of access to local reporters and shut national reporters out,

In former times when a big story broke, I would automatically want as many reporters out on the story as possible. Not now. There are a lot of TV news channels and the web to monitor, and it's more time-efficient to have reporters in the office. The downside is that by not having many reporters on the streets, you inevitably dilute the flavour of the story.

The conflict between the men who make and the men who report the news is as old as time. News may be true, but it is not truth, and reporters and officials seldom see it the same way. In the old days, the reporters or couriers of bad news were often put to the gallows; now they are given the Pulitzer Prize, but the conflict goes on.

[By 1:22 a.m. ET, Kerry adviser Joe Lockhart had issued a sharp statement.] Today, the Bush administration must answer for what may be the most grave and catastrophic mistake in a tragic series of blunders in Iraq, ... How did they fail to secure nearly 380 tons of known, deadly explosives despite clear warnings from the International Atomic Energy Agency to do so? And why was this information unearthed by reporters, and was it covered up by our national security officials?

Administration officials took to telling reporters that Washington was contributing to a public-health initiative in Uganda to clean up more than ten thousand Rwandan corpses from the shores of Lake Victoria.

Ken Starr's prosecutors demanded to know what I had told reporters and what reporters had told me about Ken Starr's prosecutors. If they think they have intimidated me they have failed. And if any journalist here or elsewhere wants to talk to me, I'll be glad to talk to you.

But so far, in the accounts given by reporters about their conversations with administration officials, no such crime has been described. What has been depicted is an administration effort to refute the allegations of a critic (some of which did in fact prove to be untrue) and to undermine his credibility, including by suggesting that nepotism rather than qualifications led to his selection. If such conversations are deemed a crime, journalism and the public will be the losers.

But sadly, the grim realities of life have started intruding into the fun and games - as is true in other areas, for example, the entertainment business, music, art, TV programming, movies. It's the same kind of issue for reporters in those areas. Entertainment reporters operated with some different standards as well up until fairly recently.

It's troubling that reporters are being asked to play so central a role, but even more troubling that reporters may be obliged to play the role of testifying against someone that they had promised confidentiality to,

My guess is more reporters probably vote Democrat than Republican - just because I think reporters are smart.

Jerry Springer (1944-)

Right-wing media and politicians are looking for any opportunity to be critical of the reporters who are here. Some reporters make judgments, but that is not my style. I present both sides and report what I see with my own eyes.

Peter Arnett (1934-)

More than two dozen reporters have been subpoenaed in the past two years and are in danger of going to jail. If the current trend prevails, the Alexandria Detention Facility may have to open an entire new wing to house reporters.

We're delighted that the Knight Foundation has recognized the valuable contributions the Reporters Committee has made to the public's right to know. Reporters all over the country will benefit from the continuation and expansion of the programs this grant will support.
