August 21, 2013Review of News12 Phoenix 11-Minute Package on Whitney Lopus Lawsuit in Greg Winslow Case, Plus the National Swim Coach Sex Abuse Scandal
August 24, 2013Surely you’ve heard the news. Here’s how The New York Times covered it:
“N.F.L. Pressure Said to Lead ESPN to Quit Film Project,” http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/24/sports/football/nfl-pressure-said-to-prompt-espn-to-quit-film-project.html?pagewanted=2&_r=0&adxnnl=1&smid=tw-share&adxnnlx=1377261768-HK7duazRG6eGNK3C7asF%20Q
Here’s what I emailed Steve Fainaru and Mark Fainaru-Wada (no reply yet):
I have no special insights on today’s announcement. But I do have a serious hypothetical question.
Suppose that tomorrow or next week or next month, you two develop, through your sources, a story that Dr. Richard Ellenbogen and Dr. Hunt Batjer are being blackmailed by Dr. Elliot Pellman over an HGH deal gone bad, and as a result, NFL concussion policy is being altered and pertinent data are being covered up.
Who gets the story? ESPN? PBS?
