Worth a watch: good session on whistleblowers


By SB Anderson

There was a pretty good panel discussion a few weeks ago at the American Society of News Editors conference in Washington on whistleblowers. The archive has been posted and you can watch it below.

Here’s who you’ll see and hear in the session on “The Government vs. the Press:”

  • Kathleen Carroll, Associated Press executive editor
  • James Rosen, Fox News chief Washington correspondent/host of Foxhole
  • Thomas Drake, National Security Agency senior employee turned whistle-blower (his prosecution under the Espionage Act collapsed in 2011)
  • Moderator Marty Baron, The Washington Post executive editor
