Rick Bragg

• July 31 -- Will ‘Siegal’ Soothe Times Egos?
The Times releases the Siegal Report, an account of its failures in the wake of the Jayson Blair and Rick Bragg controversies. It includes a note from panel member and far-left activist Roger Wilkins, defending the paper’s “aggressive” diversity quest and bashing America: “The Times newsroom is an American place and is thus touched--as are virtually all American places--by our culture, including some remnants of hostility to minorities and women.”

• May 29 -- No More Braggadocio at the Times?
Times media reporters don’t have to go far for stories these days. Jacques Steinberg reports on the resignation of fellow Times journalist Rick Bragg “at the end of a frenetic day of debate among journalists over the appropriate amount of assistance that correspondents should receive from freelancers.”

• May 27 -- Nothing To Bragg About
Suspended Times reporter Rick Bragg says he’s a scapegoat for Jayson Blair and is quitting the paper.
