For months, the Globe's ombudsman has been ignoring calls to investigate the story that led to Peter Quinn's resignation. Last night, he finally responded
For two months, the ombudsman of the Boston Globe has been silent on the reporting that helped bring about Massachusetts CIO Peter Quinn's resignation. Last night, in response to an entry pointing out that silence at the Standards Blog, ombudsman Richard Chacon at last responded, admitting to "lingering questions over why the [Quinn travel investigation] story was allowed to run without comment from Eric Kriss," but standing by "the initial reasons for looking into the story." Chacon also promises to report back with further observations after contacting Peter Quinn.
jsusanka: The Globe's response is a total evasion. Steve will say he doesn't divulge sources. This is just more of the same and while I applaud Andy for his efforts, he's wasting his time.
I don't think it takes a rocket scientist or a Cobol programmer to figure this out. The Globe had no reason what so ever to investigate and report on a state official without contacting the state (commonwealth). The protocol was abusive.
