Ombud: We should call people before using online comments
Raleigh News & Observer
Some Raleigh residents were surprised to see their comments posted on a Yahoo-hosted forum used in a News & Observer story. Should they have been contacted first? "Newspapers don't normally quote people, especially those not savvy about media, without their knowledge," says ombud Ted Vaden. "A good rule of thumb is if we can expect that, in most cases, people would be surprised to see their statements in the paper, we should check with them first." More editor/ombud columns:
