RE: KURT’S SO GOOD

You may remember a recent shout-out to NYT reporter Kurt Eichenwald for his piece on webcam child pornography. His story has sparked an interesting back-and-forth over on Slate.

Eichenwald and Slate editor at large Jack Shafer have an interesting–albeit lengthy–discussion about journalism and ethics and journalism ethics. Check it out.
