|
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING TO THIS DISCUSSION OF "PULITZER'S GOLD" BEHIND THE PRICE FOR PUBLIC-SERVICE... |
| 00:02:19 |
|
TAKE THE GIRL OUT OF THE NEWS ROOM BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE NEWS ROOM OUT OF THE GIRL. SCAAP SHE'S ALSO... |
| 00:03:19 |
|
PROVING IT IS A MUTANT GENE. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:03:23 |
|
SASHA FIFER JOINED WBUR LAST YEAR AFTER REPORTING FOR THE GLOBE WHERE OTHER AWARD WINNING STORIES... |
| 00:06:03 |
|
BASICALLY IT WAS THE LESSER KNOWN STORY DURING THESE 90 YEARS WHERE I FOUND IN THE REAL TREASURER.... |
| 00:11:11 |
|
IT IS NOT A TOTALLY NEGATIVE PROSPECT BUT I WANT TO INTERJECT QUICKLY THAT I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO WRITE... |
| 00:12:05 |
|
MY FATHER ROY HARRIS SR. WAS INVOLVED WITH FOUR TEAMS THAT WON FOUR OF THEM BEFORE PEOPLE SLICE THE... |
| 00:12:18 |
|
THEY WERE REALLY IMPORTANT. OF THE BOOK IS BOTH A LABOR OF WONDERFUL JOURNALISM AND RESEARCH AND HISTORY... |
| 00:24:44 |
|
IT IS MORE THING BUT SOONER OR LATER THEY HAVE TO ADMIT THERE'S GOOD JOURNALISM BEING DONE ON THE... |
| 00:25:22 |
|
DID NOT WANT TO FETTERED SACHA MATURED MENTION OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN BOSTON DOES CREATE A HUGE ISSUE... |
| 00:25:43 |
|
WHEN I READ ROI BOOK IT IS A REMINDER ME OF A STORY THAT I HAD TOLD THEM YOU REALLY DO GO BREAKNECK... |
| 00:30:48 |
|
OR LONGER. |
| 00:30:49 |
|
SOMETIMES HAVE TO GO DOWN THE ROAD TO FIGURE IT IS WORTHWHILE AND WITH THE INVESTIGATIVE TEAM YOU... |
| 00:32:47 |
|
THERE IS ONE PIECE OF THIS THE WANT TO BRING UP THAT TAKES US BACK TO THE BOOK THAT IS AN ORGANIZATION... |
| 00:33:50 |
|
OR THE OFFHANDED REMARKED. TELL THAT STORY. |
| 00:33:54 |
|
I HAVE A BETTER REASON FOR TELLING PHILADELPHIA. BAIDU WANT TO TOUCH ON A COUPLE OF STORIES. THE... |
| 00:37:14 |
|
THAT IS A MAJOR RED FLAG. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:37:17 |
|
HE WROTE REFERRED TO AS HIS AND 10 AND BEGAN TO WOBBLE AND THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF HIS DECISION... |
| 00:38:20 |
|
ONE OF THE MUCH RESERVE DAMAGES IS OFTEN TIMES IT CAN BE RISKY TO HAVE THE BEAT REPORTER DO A VERY... |
| 00:39:29 |
|
AND THEY CAN GET UPSET BECAUSE OF AN STOMPING ON THEIR TURF, IT IS AWKWARD. FOR INSTANCE WE DO NOT... |
| 00:40:12 |
|
BUT WILL REPORT READERS DON'T KNOW WHAT I HOPE COMES ALIVE IN THE BOOK IS THAT EACH OF THESE GREAT... |
| 00:41:19 |
|
THERE IS ONE MORE THREAT OF LIKE TO BRING UP. WE TALKED OUT THE FINANCES AND CUT BACK IN THE BUDGET... |
| 00:42:56 |
|
TRAVEL LIKE TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR SOME QUESTIONS BUT ONE OTHER POINT I WANT TO MAKE THE PROMISING... |
| 00:45:01 |
|
THANK YOU FOR A HOPEFUL DISCUSSION OF THE FUTURE OF INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM BUT WHAT I READ FROM... |
| 00:45:21 |
|
IT IS IN THE BOOK. IT WAS NOT DRIVING ME IN THE BEGINNING A WANTED TO TELL THE STORIES OF THE REPORTING... |
| 00:48:29 |
|
FROM YOUR REPORTING TO WHAT EXTENT DID YOU THINK POLITICS AND ILLUSTRATES THE PROCESS AT ALL OR WHAT... |
| 00:48:38 |
|
I THINK IT IS NOW. THE ONLY PLACE YOU HAVE REAL POLITICS WHEN THE BOARD TAKES THE JURY RECOMMENDATION... |
| 00:50:07 |
|
SOMETIMES IT IS TRUE THERE ARE CASES WHERE EDITORS PLOT STORIES WITH THE HOPE FOR THE ANTICIPATION... |
| 00:50:29 |
|
I LIKE HOW IT GIVES THE ARRAY OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF WINNERS THE NEAR COVERAGE AFTER SEPTEMBER... |
| 00:50:58 |
|
AND IT WAS A GREAT WITH TATA -- WIN BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE IS A GREAT SOUL EVER YOU DO NOT HAVE TO... |
| 00:54:09 |
|
PLEASE COME TO THE |
| 00:54:10 |
|
. |
| 00:54:18 |
|
HE IMAGINE THE FOUR REPORTERS WERE THE FIRST ONES TO BE GOTTEN RID OF. DO YOU FORESEE A NEW MODEL... |
| 00:54:29 |
|
THERE'S A WONDERFUL MODEL COMING OUT OF BOSTON. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THAT HERE. GLOBAL POST.COM... |
| 00:56:56 |
|
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE LANGUAGE AND HAVE TO LEARN THE CURRENCY THERE'S A LOT OF OBSTACLES AND TO JUST... |
| 00:57:04 |
|
AND STILL AN ISLAND OF SANITY IN A GLOBAL MADHOUSE BUT WE HAVE BEEN CUTTING BACK SO MUCH FROM WHEN... |
| 00:57:18 |
|
TWO OR THREE? |
| 00:57:23 |
|
FIVE OR SIX OR SEVEN. [LAUGHTER] WE REALLY NEED TO BALANCE THAT OUT. MY FORMER EMPLOYER, THE ECONOMIST,... |
| 00:57:51 |
|
BUT WE ARE BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY MORE INSULATED AND WE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT WHAT WE GET TO WHICH... |
| 00:58:29 |
|
ALSO A DANGER THAT A LACK OUTSIDE? |
| 00:58:32 |
|
OF COURSE. BECAUSE AND TOTALITARIAN REGIMES WHERE YOU CANNOT COVER NEWS VERY ACCURATELY OR YOU WILL... |
| 00:59:32 |
|
FIRST I HAVE A QUICK STORY, I GOT A CALL FROM SPRINGFIELD MASSACHUSETTS AND I WAS UP IN NEW HAMPSHIRE... |
| 00:59:59 |
|
THEY HAD TO EDITIONS OUT STOP THE PRESSES AND PUT TED KENNEDY ON THE TOP PAGE. |
| 01:00:07 |
|
WRITES. BUT PHIL IS A DEAR FRIEND AND I FOLLOWED THE CLERGY SEXUAL ABUSE MONTH FROM A REGIONAL THING.... |
| 01:01:31 |
|
SOME CAN BE REPLICATED THAT MAY HAVE BEEN A STORY WHERE YOU HAVE A DISADVANTAGE IF YOU WERE SMALLER... |
| 01:02:01 |
|
BID COULD OPEN IT UP YET THE SPRINGFIELD NEWSPAPERS HAD A CHALLENGE LOCALLY IN TRYING TO GET THAT... |
| 01:02:08 |
|
SOMETIMES THE WAY TO TELL WHAT LOCALLY IS PERHAPS HAVE VERY SPECIFIC CASES AND I KNOW IN NEW HAMPSHIRE... |
| 01:02:23 |
|
ONE OF THE WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT THE CLOTHES EXTRAORDINARY EFFORT ON THIS, AND PROMPTED INVESTIGATIONS... |
| 01:03:04 |
|
ANYTHING THAT YOU SEE IS WORTHY IT IS WORTH CALLING THE NEWSPAPER BUT PEOPLE ARE RELUCTANT TO DO THAT.... |
| 01:03:17 |
|
ALMOST ALL OF THEM THAT HAVE E-MAIL ADDRESSES THAT GO TO THE EDITORS OR THE TEAM'S. |
| 01:03:24 |
|
I TOTALLY AGREE. IT IS EASY TO WEED OUT THE CRANKS BECAUSE THEY WRITE ON EVERY SQUARE INCH AND THEY... |
| 01:06:32 |
|
AND THEY REALLY ARE GREAT STORIES. YOU GET IMMERSED. THESE ARE NOT DRY STORIES. |
| 01:06:37 |
|
IT IS A GREAT READ. IT REALLY IS A GREAT READ. [APPLAUSE] |
| 01:06:50 |
