who employs me
I am a staff writer with CTV.ca News. That operation is part of CTV News, which is of course nestled into CTV Inc. and CTVglobemedia.

I don't speak for my employer on this blog. I don't comment about the internal affairs of my employer.

Any views expressed here are my own.

View Article  W-P takes six Pulitzers

From the NYT:

The Washington Post won six Pulitzer Prizes on Monday, the second most any newspaper has won in a year, including awards for reporting that helped define much of the national political dialogue in 2007.

The Post won the public service award for revealing the mistreatment of wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, in work by two reporters, Dana Priest and Anne Hull, and a photographer, Michel du Cille.

Other news organizations that received awards were The New York Times, which took two; Reuters; The Chicago Tribune; The Boston Globe; The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; The Concord Monitor in New Hampshire; and Investor’s Business Daily.

Here's the Pulitzer Prizes link. The Pulitzer people have strategically designed their site using frames, so you'll have to click through to see the 2008 lists.

View Article  LAT retracts Tupak Shakur/P. Diddy story

A big oopsie. From the NYT:

The Los Angeles Times formally retracted on Monday its investigative report about a 1994 attack on the rapper Tupac Shakur after concluding that a prison inmate had fabricated much of the evidence cited in the article.

The article, published online on March 17 and in the newspaper two days later, suggested that associates of the rapper Sean Combs were involved in a shooting of Mr. Shakur. A 600-word correction on the front of the Calendar section stated that the report “relied heavily on information that The Times no longer believes to be credible.”

The newspaper has removed the original article and associated materials from its Web site and directed readers to the retraction.

The article, which was written by Chuck Philips, relied primarily on documents, purportedly written by F.B.I. agents, which were apparently fabricated by James Sabatino, a longtime con man who is in a federal prison.

Here's the actual LAT retraction.
