I laughed when you recounted the questioning you get from reporters. I used many of those same tactics when I was a reporter years ago. I was only doing my job–trying to find a way to confirm information that the source didn’t want to (or legally couldn’t) confirm.

You are doing your job, as well. It’s the dance that reporters and potential sources have “enjoyed” for a long time.

Social media like this blog have increased the speed of information dissemination, and removed some barriers between the author and the reader. That means new opportunities, along with new potential pitfalls. I hope that you are very successful in balancing the two.
