Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Angela Tuck says her newspaper was too slow to cover the controversy surrounding former President Jimmy Carter's book on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "Some readers I've talked to believe this was a deliberate attempt by the newspaper to shield Carter, who has often been a polarizing figure in his home state and beyond." Here's the Journal-Constitution's coverage so far: Three Sunday @issue pieces, 12 opinion page columns, three staff-generated columns and 49 letters to the editor. Also, Carter has written two columns in the paper about the book. On the news side, there have been 16 staff-produced stories and five wire service stories. || More ombud/editor columns:
