As first reported by AAN News in January, OC Weekly News and Investigations Editor Nick Schou has written a book about Gary Webb, the late investigative reporter who penned the "Dark Alliance" series exploring connections between the CIA and crack cocaine. In Kill the Messenger, Schou alleges that Webb's editors at the San Jose Mercury News made the decision to focus his series on the CIA link against Webb's wishes. Schou also criticizes national newspapers for their treatment of Webb: "So much of the reporting was personal and an attack on Gary Webb, it was unbelievable," he tells Editor & Publisher. Kill the Messenger will be published by Nation Books in October.
This week's BusinessWeek article on Kevin Rose claims that his company, Digg.com, is headquartered "above the grungy offices of the SF Weekly." However, San Francisco Bay Guardian Editor and Publisher Bruce Brugmann notes in a blog post that Digg is actually "a good tenant on the third floor of the Guardian building." Although Brugmann takes offense that his paper was mistaken for SF Weekly, he devotes more words to the building being called "grungy." Brugmann has written BusinessWeek asking for a correction, and will provide updates on his "Bruce Blog."
