In which I am quoted on the ethics of publishing the names of juveniles charged with crimes - and the ethics of government telling journalists (and others) what they can and cannot say in balancing harm vs the public's need to know.

@NPR media correspondent @davidfolkenflik reported on political interference on journalism at West Virginia Public Broadcasting.
You won’t find it on @wvpublicnews – it stopped publishing @NPR news after @NPR started reporting.

Happy Veterans Day to Ltc. Jim Roberts. His 20-year career including running a missile battery in California, service in post-war Korea and wartime Vietnam, and dealing with everything from nuclear weapons to Army recruiters.
And he jumped out of airplanes just for fun.

@TheAtlantic account of how the U.S. government separated children from their parents at the border is worth reading.
@itscaitlinhd calls out liars and planners who wouldn’t go on the record to defend their actions – and how many have kids of their own.

The Miami Herald shows how Florida Power&Light @insideFPL took over a news site without telling anyone. Note the lack of answers in the story.
As the @spj_tweets code of ethics says: Real journalism is accountable and transparent.

A reminder that there is no federal shield law to protect news organizations from revealing sources, despite efforts by @spj_tweets and others.

A fine story from @ashab613 of @CBCOttawa with a terrific quote from an Inuit man: "The stronger we are as a community, the better the chance for individuals to survive.”
Also, simply watching it made my knees ache.

@realBobWoodward book "Fear" is released today. When he spoke at @UofAlabama years ago, he never wore his nametag. I took it once the event ended and hope he doesn't mind. @ua_jcm
