Lucy Dalglish on anonymous sources

I hope many of you captured what the executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press had to say about use of anonymous sources Tuesday night. We have debated this a bit in class. She would not ever stand up and try to say we don't use too many anonymous sources, she said, first.





Indeed, it's too easy to grant annonymity to people to get them to loosen up and talk.
