Almost nothing should be blind in a politics or policy story. I can’t think of a thing.
Twenty-nine years in daily journalism left me w/a few thoughts about using blind quotes. Simply put: What should reporters/editors allow a blind source to say, especially in politics & policy coverage?. And how should we react when the news org's OWN ethics rules are ignored?.
