Poynter Online - Case Study: Orlando Station Investigates Wal-Mart Incident This is interesting. A reporter working the usually slack time after Thanksgiving took an anonymous e-mail and followed up. The result was that the news about a woman "injured" in a stampede to buy things on Buy Nothing Day (the day after Thanksgiving)who turned out to have a documented past of filing injury claims at work or business. Al Thompkins interviews the astute reporter, Jeff Fuller, and urges reporters and newsrooms to listen up.
