Corporate Scandal Sheet (culled from Forbes.com)

From Forbes.com’s now-outdated account…

Accounting
The Corporate Scandal Sheet
Penelope Patsuris, 08.26.02, 5:30 PM ET

With the avalanche of corporate accounting scandals that have rocked the markets recently, it’s getting hard to keep track of them all–but our Corporate Scandal Sheet does the job. Here we’ll follow accounting imbroglios only–avoiding insider-trading allegations like those plaguing ImClone, since chronicling every corporate transgression would be impractical–and our timeline starts with the Enron debacle.

Bob Edwards Learns NPR Isn’t Done Hitting the Off Button

January 15, 2006
By Richard Leiby

Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, May 3, 2005; Page C3

Bob Edwards , the longtime “Morning Edition” host who was booted amid much controversy last year from National Public Radio, says he’s still getting static from his former employer. Edwards is furious because NPR barred his old colleague Scott Simon , host of “Weekend Morning Edition,” from appearing on his XM Satellite Radio show last week to promote a book.

Fair & Accuracy In Reporting Annual Report: *Plethora of Links Within Links*

January 10, 2006

The traditional tenets of journalism are challenged and undermined by other factors: Advertisers demand “friendly copy,” while other commercial interests work to place news items that serve the same function as advertising. Media owners exert pressure to promote the parent company’s self-interest. Powerful local and national interests demand softball treatment. And government power is exerted to craft stories, influence content—and even to make up phony “news” that can be passed off as the real thing.

Journalists, on the whole, understand these pressures all too well. A survey of media workers by four industry labor unions (Media Professionals and Their Industry, 7/20/04) found respondents concerned about “pressure from advertisers trying to shape coverage” as well as “outside control of editorial policy.” In May, the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press released a survey of media professionals that found reporters concerned about how bottom-line pressures were affecting news quality and integrity. In their summary of the report, Bill Kovach, Tom Rosensteil and Amy Mitchell wrote that journalists “report more cases of advertisers and owners breaching the independence of the newsroom.”

The Fear & Favor report is an attempt to illustrate this growing encroachment on journalism with real examples that have been made public—not an exhaustive list by any means, but a reminder that such pressures exist, and that reporters serve the best interests of citizens and the journalistic profession by coming forward with their own accounts.
