Dear Lactnet Friends:

This is from a lovely source that sends me regular updates.  <

“Can I see what you’ve written before the story is published?” is one of
the most common questions asked of journalists. The *New York Times*, which
sets the standard for much of the journalism world, has just announced a
new policy that bans quote approval. “Citing Times policy, reporters should
say no if a source demands, as a condition of an interview, that quotes be
submitted afterward to the source or a press aide to review, approve or
edit,” wrote executive editor Jill Abramson. Read the whole
statement<http://www.hccnet1.com/is/link.php?M=141258&N=1074&L=15126&F=H>
to
see how this may affect you. If you are worried that the information you
present might be misconstrued, offer to help the journalist with fact
checking. That is different from quote approval. Volunteer to do the first
and don’t insist on the second!

warmly,
