That's what a WP chatter tells PressThink's
Jay Rosen. From "The Press: Year in Review" transcript:
Rockville, Md.: I think the press has done a good job this past year with many of the stories it uncovered, such as secret prisons, wiretapping, etc. Of course, its a tough call. For example, the NYTimes gets criticized for sitting on the wiretap story, but on the other hand, looked what happened to Rather a year before on his story. Maybe they were just being overly cautious and it's not political? Your thoughts?
Jay Rosen: I think, as many have said, the paper deserves a lot of credit for doing it.
Birmingham, Ala.: Will the management of major newspapers continue to fight bloggers, or will they get onboard the idea that First Amendment rights extend to Web publishing?
Jay Rosen: I think what newspaper people primarily worry about is having to put their good name on what some blogger is typing. That scares them.
