DID EDITOR RICK GREENE TELL PUBLISHER HE HAD HELP?
Another thought, and a question for you, Rick Greene. Did you ever tell Publisher Eddie Blakely that you werent really the one that was doing most of the investigative work for the articles you were printing? Or, did you simply keep quiet about your unpaid assistants, and let him think you alone were responsible for all the breaking news? If you didnt level with your publisher, then you may sometime join the ranks of Jayson Blair, and Jack Kelley. Jayson Blair made worldwide headlines last year when it was revealed that many of the articles he wrote for the New York Times were taken from articles created by other writers. And of course, you probably read about Jack Kelley, 43, of USA Today last Friday. Nearly half of the front section of their newspaper, including the frontpage, was filled with apologies to their readers for printing Kelleys phony news stories. Kelley wrote of many events and tragedies in the Middle East war zone during the past three years that didnt occur. Good luck,
