This article focuses on the impact of scandals involving fabricated reports on the newspaper industry in the United States. On April 20th, the editor of USA Today, Karen Jurgensen, resigned abruptly following a scandal involving one of her star foreign correspondents, Jack Kelley. Last year, Howell Raines, then editor of the New York Times, eventually fell on his sword in the wake of a similar scandal involving his own star reporter, Jayson Blair. Now that the editors of two of America's three leading national newspapers (the third is the Wall Street Journal) have succumbed to scandals, the publishing industry will no doubt be worrying about who may be next. An investigation by USA Today's own reporters alleges acts of fabrication and fraud that would have made the most wicked bubble-era boss blush. Ultimately, it is the customer--the reader--who holds newspapers to account. That explains the extraordinary efforts of both newspapers to investigate and deal with their problems publicly as they fight to protect their brands.

Less than six months into his job as editor and secular savior of the much-abused New York Daily News, Pete Hamill is already under the gun. Circulation is down because of printing and delivery problems at a new plant in New Jersey and a drop in newspaper reading everywhere. Hamill was reportedly forced out of his charming West Village neighborhood because of a massive rent increase. Hamill's notion of the meaning and purpose of journalism, however, flies in the face of nearly every development in the recent history of the craft. Hamill's immigrant-driven remake of the paper is a gamble in more ways than one. Advertising analysts would argue that his strategy is the wrong one to maximize profits. Many elite department store executives regard tabloid readers less as potential customers than as likely shoplifters.

This article features Ken Paulson and his contributions to USA Today. USA Today is a more settled place roughly a year after revelations of star reporter Jack Kelley's brazen fabrications shamed the paper and toppled its leaders. But the wounds from that episode still sting, and the paper's humiliation has galvanized efforts to shore up credibility. Paulson has steered the newspaper onto a course of painstaking attention to sourcing and attribution, of greater openness and accessibility to readers and staff, and of swift responsiveness to hints of reporter wrongdoing or missteps by the paper. Paulson developed many of his ideas about how to run newspapers as editor of smaller sister Gannett papers and as executive director of the Freedom Forum's First Amendment Center in Nashville, where educating the public about free speech and journalism's mission was central to his job.

This article presents an interview with Daniel Okrent, outgoing public-editor of "The New York Times" newspaper. He discusses his newspaper background and his first reaction when the Times contacted him. He reflects on how he encountered hostility and resentment at the paper. He is aware of the people at the "Times" who approve, those who do not approve, and the people who tell him they approve, but behind his back say they do not. Okrent's advice to incoming public-editor Barney Calame would be to engage with the paper's critics. He reflects on how the practice has done two things for him: it enabled him to empathize with the critics, but also with those who daily endure the assaults of the critics.

This article discusses a news outlet's need for news ombudsmen, also known as public editors, reader representatives and reader advocates, to assign someone to listen to audience concerns and analyze its news coverage. Bringing an ombudsman on board sends the message that the paper, station or network is willing to subject itself to the kind of scrutiny it applies to everyone else. And having someone whose primary job is to listen shows readers that their opinions matter to the news outlet. Studies show that there's a widespread perception that the ombudsman is a public relations agent for his or her employer. But others say the job's public relations value is important. An ombudsman can serve readers--and the paper--by explaining how journalism works and how the news organization makes decisions. This is critical, reader advocates say, because if newspapers don't do it, someone else will. Just as important as explaining journalism to readers, ombudsmen say, is communicating readers' needs to journalists. Most news organizations have created a barrier between what the reader wants and what the newspaper delivers. An ombudsman can also advocate better play for a specific story that readers crave. The ombudsman can play an important role in maintaining high standards. Public editors hear from readers about everything from spelling errors to reporting problems on major stories, and can in turn push for corrections. Accuracy is also improved by allowing the ombudsman to serve as a conduit for the staff's concerns. Many reporters and editors are glad their papers have someone explaining the news business to readers, even if they don't always agree with the conclusions they draw. INSET: Who Needs One?.

This article discusses the story behind the media coverage of the revelation by former Oregon Governor Neil Goldschmidt that in the 1970s, when he was 35 and the city's mayor, he had an ongoing sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl. The Oregonian, the biggest paper in the Northwest, had been beaten on the story by Williamette Week, a Portland alt-weekly. In May 2004, Willamette Week reporter Nigel Jaquiss broke the news of a sex scandal involving Goldschmidt and a 14-year-old girl. Though Goldschmidt did confess to the Oregonian, his unburdening that on May 6 came just hours after Willamette Week confronted him with questions about the girl. When the Oregonian's story posited that Goldschmidt's deteriorating health and impending media accounts of the affair were equal parts responsible for provoking the confession, many journalists in town cried foul, saying that not only was not that fair to Willamette Week, it was not an accurate portrayal of the day's events. The weekly had been far ahead on the story and had posted its account the day before the Oregonian published its piece. The Oregonian's Friday morning paper symbolized the paper's failure to take real measure of Neil Goldschmidt. According to Oregonian columnist Steve Duin, hopefully, next time, the Oregonian will see more clearly, challenge the institutions, aggressively chase the seemingly impossible story.

The article examines the challenges faced by USA Today on its third generation as a newspaper in the U.S. Born to derision in 1982, USA Today saucily called itself as the nation's newspaper and shocked journalists with its bold color, its big weather map, its late sports scores and its stories. As of April 2004, the newspaper is already 21 and a half. And as a young adult learns to compete journalistically with its more decorated elders, its elders want the paper to remain committed to its reader-friendly roots. The third generation will also test USA Today's journalistic ambition and leadership. Over the next few years, the paper will answer questions about whether it can keep the reporters it has worked hard to recruit, how well it uses their talents and how effectively it melds their skills with the paper's distinctive mission. The challenges USA Today faces bear some resemblance to those of the McDonald's. Like McDonald's, USA Today is a known product, beloved and purchased by millions of U.S. citizens. The paper circulates to 2.15 million people Monday through Thursday, and 2.6 million readers by its weekend edition, published each Friday. But less than 15 percent of those sales are home subscriptions.

The article discusses several issues affecting journalists and newspaper publishing in the U.S., including the ones affecting regional reporters in Washington D.C. In the shadows of largest and most prestigious bureaus labor scores of reporters who cover the nation's capital for small and midsize papers. Some correspondents work for prominent newspaper chains and benefit from the name recognition and resources their bureaus can provide. Some toil alone in offices scarcely larger than a closet or share space with other reporters who work for the same newspaper or serve sister papers. No matter how diverse the correspondents' responsibilities, however, similar obstacles dog most regional reporters. The nation's capital is a town that respects prestige and power. Correspondents at small and midsize newspapers often discover that access to federal officials does not come easily. Unlike national beat reporters, most regional correspondents are generalists, a reality that requires dexterity in covering issues as diverse as local highway projects and national energy policy, antiballistic missile systems and immigration disputes. Most regional reporters have endured the pressures of competition with national newspapers that have larger staffs and better resources.
