What it does not have are identifiable sources... Game Change posed an intriguing dilemma for The Times: How do you deal with a talker of a book reported in a way that the paper's own standards do not permit?"

The Chatham Planet says: "Mr. Innes, who is said to be a large stockholder in the Toronto Globe, will raise the question in the House of Commons of the importation of the Buffalo Express, Utica Globe, and Toledo Blade Saturday editions, which he hints are brought in by express without paying duty. Mr. Lister might add to his list half a dozen other Yankee sheets which are smuggled into this Canada of ours and bought up by reason of the 'sensational' features which characterize them. Besides, some of the importations are the vilest of the vile in journalism and calculated to corrupt the morals of any who read them."

(Look for stories by the correspondents Samuel Wilkeson and Edward A. Paul, who accompanied the troops. Wilkeson was present at Gettysburg and wrote his story while he was standing next to the open grave of his oldest son, an artillery officer. His account of this event is available in pdf format at The Library of Congress. Of related interest is the book, A Bohemian Brigade: The Civil War Correspondents, Mostly Rough, Sometimes Ready by James A. Perry.

- The Wayward Press: Blair House: The Former Times Reporter Strikes Back - By Nicholas Lemann, New Yorker, March 15, 2004, pp. 136-140. Lemann, dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University, reviews Jayson Blair's Burning Down My Masters' House: A Personal Descent Into Madness That Shook the New York Times. "Blair's only really telling charge against the Times is that the national desk encouraged a practice called the "toe-touch," in which a reporter would make a proforma visit to a remote location so that the already written story could bear a dateline...Blair himself, as he nicely puts it, escalated from the toe-touch story to the "no-touch" story, written from Brooklyn under a made-up dateline. It was the exposure of one such story of Blair's set in Los Fresnos, Texas, that caused the whole place to unravel." See also Selected articles by Nicholas Lemann published in the New Yorker Magazine
