Most Honest Confession Award
"There
is no such thing as objective reporting...I’ve become even more crafty
about finding the voices to say the things I think are true. That’s my
subversive mission."
-- Boston Globe environmental reporter Dianne
Dumanoski at an Utne Reader symposium May 17-20. Quoted by Micah
Morrison in the July American Spectator.
Runners-Up:
"I
think that when abortion opponents complain about a bias in newsrooms
against their cause, they’re absolutely right." "Opposing abortion, in
the eyes of most journalists...is not a legitimate, civilized position
in our society."
-- Boston Globe legal reporter Ethan Bronner in Los
Angeles Times reporter David Shaw’s series on abortion coverage, July 1.
"After seeing our footage, she told us that Frontline doesn’t
co-produce anti-communist programs."
-- Cinematographer Nestor Almendros on a Frontline producer’s reaction to his anti-Castro documentary Nobody Listened, quoted by Don Kowet in the August 8 Washington Times.
