	The case against SUVs / Account brims with vivid, detailed characters
		Penenberg tracks Ford's Explorer stability problems back to a May 1987 engineers' report; he digs back to the 1988 Bridgestone-Firestone merger -- and a subsequent aggressive cost- cutting spree that reduced the amount of rubber in each tire -- to find the root of the ATX and Wilderness tires' fatal flaws.
		Penenberg fills the narrative with rich, detailed characters: safety advocates and car investigators, victims and executives, lawyers and journalists.
		As is evident from the book's subtitle, however, the real hero in Penenberg's tale is not Bailey, the bed-bound victim whose case cracked the industry, but Turner, who comes off as a prince among sharp-toothed plaintiffs' attorneys.

		PENENBERG: I was drawn to it because of the lawyer I write about, Tab Turner (ph), because I have a real admiration for people who are willing to go as far as they can to make corporate America responsible for the products that they make.
		PENENBERG: At the time, he had something -- over the course of that summer, his case load exploded to almost 200 cases that he was joining at the same time -- the vast majority of Ford Explorer and Firestone tire cases.

	Montreal Mirror - Film : Shattered Glass
		It was five years ago when Penenberg, then employed by Forbes Online to cover the Internet business beat, was reprimanded by his editor for "missing" a great story about the shenanigans going on at a hackers' convention.
		This real-life sequence is one of the pivotal scenes in Shattered Glass, the taut, hugely entertaining tale of the fabulist reporter who made up almost half of the cover stories he wrote for NR from scratch.
		Penenberg says that director Billy Ray (an experienced screenwriter who here makes his directorial debut) stuck so closely to the facts that when Penenberg visited the Montreal set almost two years ago, he found the experience downright eerie.

		Penenberg goes on to cite several instances where various technologies enabled law enforcement agencies to catch criminals who might otherwise have gotten away and discusses Britain's more enthusiastic deployment of cameras and the subsequent downward trend in crime statistics.
		The plethora of daily information that Penenberg described is also covered in detail here, with examples of how the different types of surveillance technology are being applied, whether it's a national DNA database of convicted criminals or software that enables employers to monitor the keystrokes and e-mail of their employees.
		Penenberg clearly feels that the expansion of surveillance technology should not be something that induces paranoia or a knee-jerk reaction of fear: "Worrying is a waste of time.

		Adam Penenberg has a deep, passionate love for old-fashioned investigative reporting, but he is also a child of the Internet.
		About a year after Penenberg's HFG story appeared, he received a phone call from Forbes attorney Tennyson Schad, who informed him the Department of Justice was threatening to subpoena Penenberg to testify before a grand jury, where he would have to reveal his sources for the story.

		Adam Penenberg, a journalism professor at New York University and a Wired News media columnist, has just released his review of articles written for the technology-news website by Michelle Delio, a tech journalist who has seen several of her articles retracted or corrected in recent months by other publications.

		Penenberg says he doesn’t particularly relish exposing journalists—he also famously outed serial fabricator Stephen Glass of the New Republic—but he does understand the importance of the role.

	Review: “Tragic Indifference” - The Car Connection
		But journalist Adam Penenberg's new book about plaintiff lawyer Tab Turner's crusade against Ford and Firestone for what he believes was faulty design is a worthwhile read for the exhaustive reporting done, which is organized in a fairly compelling way.
		Like much of the reporting surrounding the Explorer/Firestone debacle, Penenberg's book explores the many short-cuts and compromises Ford made in developing the original Explorer at a time when sport-utility vehicles were taking off as America's new family wagon.
		Penenberg does a good job of weaving the narrative of the story and controversy with well-reported bits of backroom drama and detailed description gathered from interviews with some of the mid-level players in the thick of the story.

		Penenberg uses Turner's involvement in the case of Donna Bailey, who was paralyzed in such an accident in Texas in 2000, as the framework for his book.
		Penenberg is also so strident in his tone and puts the companies in such a harsh light that it almost makes one wonder if this is an accurate portrayal, but he offers extensive endnotes from an array of sources to back up his claims.
		Penenberg's account of Ford and Firestone and the battle to illuminate their malfeasance is driven by a transparent passion for justice.
