More information

Event Name: Who is a Journalist?
Event Type: NPC Professional Event
Time: 9:30 AM
Sponsored by: Professional Affairs Committee
Event Location: Holeman Lounge
Details: Who is a journalist?
Now that anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can set up shop on the Web, the days when you could tell who was a reporter by looking for a press card stuck in a fedora are long gone. A writer for a conservative Web site got credentials from the White House, even after a committee of journalists turned him down. For several years, bloggers have been blurring the lines daily between journalists and activists. And now professional media blogs blur even those lines. So how do you know who's a journalist these days? A panel of journalists, bloggers and others will discuss the rules for who is what on Friday, April 8. Panelists include:
Julie Hirschfeld Davis, of the Baltimore Sun, chairwoman of the Standing Committee on Correspondents for the House and Senate press galleries

Garrett Graff, editor, Fishbowl DC, the first blogger to receive White House press credentials

Jeff Gannon, formerly with conservative Web site Talon News, whose question at a presidential news conference focused attention on how he got into the White House press corps

Ana Marie Cox, editor of Wonkette.com

John Stanton with Congress Daily, who has written for National Journal about blogs and conservative news organizations

Matthew Yglesias, staff writer at The American Prospect and editor of yglesias.typepad.com

Mike Madden with Gannett News Service and co-chair of the NPC Professional Affairs Committee will moderate the program.

NPC members and credentialed media only.
Reserve at (202) 662-7501.

EXCLUSIVE
Reporter, editor say 'Jeff Gannon' plagiarized article

By John Byrne | RAW STORY EDITOR

A Massachusetts newspaper reporter and her then-editor have accused former White House correspondent 'Jeff Gannon' of plagiarizing an article at which the reporter was the only media witness, RAW STORY has learned.

The alleged plagiarism was discovered by blogger Ron Brynaert, who has tracked other plagiarism by Gannon and various Talon News correspondents at his blog, WhyAreWeBackInIraq.

An Jun. 17, 2003 article published by Jim Guckert, who wrote under the pen name Jeff Gannon, contains numerous identical quotes and turns of phrase to an written by Melissa Beecher for the Waltham Daily News Tribune five days earlier. A comparison of the two articles compiled by Brynaert follows.

In the article about a Massachusetts couple who refused to let their home-schooled children take a standardized test, Guckert used quotes identical to Beecher's article without attribution. Beecher was the only reporter in attendance at the couple's home the day the Department of Social Services came to collect the children.
