Silly little thing..........

I've been engrossed over the past few evenings by 'Manhunt:Unabomber'......it's good!! I've learned a lot things about how they caught him and it features some of my favorite actors. Ostensibly, a huge break in the case happened when a professor found and gave investigators a copy of an old Style Guide from the Chicago Tribune. The first time I'd ever heard to words 'Style Guide' was right here at WN! --Bddpaux (talk) 18:44, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. God knows I make mistakes but those are very basic for a very important publication. Yikes. —Justin (koavf)TCM 20:06, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting story.....and a VERY interesting blog too! --Bddpaux (talk) 19:01, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Bddpaux: I've been following his blog lately. Haven't agreed with all his positions, but it is interesting, yes. I got onto him because he's one of the regular panelists on a weekly half-hour critique of journalism (that I... aspire to follow) on WGBH, Beat the Press. --Pi zero (talk) 01:58, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting listen/read on investigative journalism

From the excellent ProPublica: https://www.propublica.org/podcast/item/the-breakthrough-how-a-small-news-outlet-brought-down-the-state-hero. I've never listened to audio from them before but they're just as good at it as they are at the written word. —Justin (koavf)TCM 07:18, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
