  Global Journalism Panel at FIPP   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
NORMAN PEARLSTINE: Andreas Petzold is editor-in-chief of Stern from Germany and I wonder if, particularly in the wake of some of the recent developments in German politics, whether you feel any special pressures or whether you find issues of sourcing important for you to deal with every day.
NORMAN PEARLSTINE: With that in mind, it seems as though all of us on the panel have agreed or accepted the notion that the ability to protect confidential sources is a part of what we need to do our jobs.
NORMAN PEARLSTINE: I guess my own feeling is that, in many ways, newspapers are far more vulnerable to the net than magazines are, but that both of us have to pay an awful lot of attention to it.

From GREGG EASTERBROOK: It seems strange, and wrong, that Norman Pearlstine of Time magazine is being disparaged for complying with a court order and for his seemingly noncontroversial statement, "Our nation lives by the rule of law and none of us is above it." Pearlstine concluded that big corporations must obey the law.
Pearlstine had to weigh two competing ideals, freedom of the press and the rule of law.
Had Pearlstine in effect declared that the press is above the law, long-term harm to public respect for journalism might have been greater than whatever harm (possibly none) is caused by revealing one source after a long, determined, expensive attempt to avoid doing so.

Norman Pearlstine, editor in chief of Time Inc., said yesterday that he was writing a book about the use and misuse of anonymous sources, making him the first person involved in the C.I.A. leak case to announce a book deal.
Pearlstine said the book would focus on the most difficult decision he had to make in his 37 years as a newsman - turning over the notes of Matthew Cooper, a reporter for Time magazine, to a grand jury investigating the leak of the name of a Central Intelligence Agency officer.
Pearlstine said, "It's not just a first-person confessional about the decision." He said he would put that decision in the context of how news organizations have used and misused anonymous sources over the last three decades.

Pearlstine said that while some portion of the advance will be used to cover expenses, he said unequivocally that "any money not used for expenses will be donated." That figure, of course, is TBA, but whatever is left over will indeed go to a worthy journalistic cause.
Which is great news, and a generous donation on the part of Pearlstine who might not need the money but who is undertaking a big time commitment.
Pearlstine said he's had some discussions on the topic but "we decided we'd better get the book written first." Naturally I asked if he'd started but he demurred, saying that he preferred to stick to the topic at hand.

Apparently Pearlstine, who has training as a lawyer, made his decision without getting the input of another person trained as a lawyer, Time Warner CEO Dick Parsons, and of Time, Inc. Chairman and CEO Ann Moore, which was probably a big mistake.
