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
