Scooped by a Source: Is a "gentleman's agreement" between reporter and source broken when a blogger beats a reporter by posting their exchange first?
By Greg Lindsay
8/28/06
All Kate Kaye wanted were a couple of quotes. Back in April, the news editor of the interactive marketing news site ClickZ spotted the news that Weblogs Inc., the blog network that Calacanis had started and sold to AOL, were introducing regionally themed sites. Seeing as how the news fit neatly into a story package Kaye happened to be working on, she dropped Calacanis a line. Did he have time for a quick interview? Sure, he replied, but only via email. I do all my interviews via email these days, he told her, to prevent myself from being misquoted. With misgivings, Kaye fired off a volley of questions that Calacanis promptly answered. After a few rounds of back-and-forth follow-ups, Kaye was satisfied she had enough for her story. She thanked him and promptly forgot about it, at least until her executive editor pointed her to Calacanis' personal blog a week later. To Kaye's horror, he had posted their exchange, email headers and all, on his personal blog, as Calacanis is wont to do.

Furious, Kaye emailed him and demanded he take the interview down immediately, "especially considering you posted it without my permission and before my story was published," she recalls writing to him. Calacanis apologized, offering the explanation that he had thought she was a regular reader of his blog. If she was, she would have been aware that he posts almost all of his interviews not long after conducting them (although he typically omits the names and addresses, which in her case he had mistakenly included in his cut-and-paste and subsequently removed). Kaye accepted his apology, but the interview had been rendered worthless as far as she was concerned (though she ultimately included it): She had been scooped by her own source.

We are fun and clean (as in hygenic but not crazyclean) and enjoy Project Runway, post-punk, and running errands for our 73 year old neighbor Eddie. We're looking for a youngish roomie who is laid back and easy to get along with. Students are fine, but don't apply if you want to hold all night beer pong parties, wear hemp pants, or listen to Phish. Creative professionals also welcome. Location is on E 5th St btwn Avenues A & B. See our Craigslist posting at http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/roo/200190791.html email rachel.doyle@flavorpill.net
