More on newspaper word games, courtesy of CJR Daily: "During a recent segment of WNYC's 'On The Media,' Ethan Bronner, the New York Times's deputy foreign editor, said this about why his paper is not yet using the phrase 'civil war' to describe what is happening in Iraq: You know, it is not that I'm here to say, under no circumstances, is this a civil war. The question is, do we want to use it as a term of art in our coverage day in and day out? I mean, there is a certain conservatism or a cautiousness inherent in writing news copy at The New York Times. We're not eager to sort of lead the debate but to try to reflect it as best as possible. As Wonkette notes, "Poynter.org (the website with the Romenesko guy) have posted a serious investigation about the crybaby excuses editors are giving for not running the Foley e-mails." Public Eye offers an update on CBS's new standards: "One new development is that all personal blogs written by CBS News employees must be approved by either Linda Mason, CBS News Senior Vice President, Standards and Special Projects, or Sean McManus, the President of CBS News. 'We can't have people having personal blogs venting their opinions,' Mason explained." "Iraq Pullout--Fareed All About It!"
