[QUOTE="DA 20, post: 1852567, member: 7680"] The New York Times Admits That Virtually Every Major News Organization Allows The News To Be Censored By Government Officials. Many journalists spoke about the editing only if granted anonymity, an irony that did not escape them. No one said the editing altered the meaning of a quote. The changes were almost always small and seemingly unnecessary, they said. Those who did speak on the record said the restrictions seem only to be growing. Its not something Im particularly proud of because theres a part of me that says, Dont do it, dont agree to their terms, said Major Garrett, a correspondent for The National Journal. There are times when this feels like Im dealing with some of my editors. Its like, You just changed this because you could! It was difficult to find a news outlet that had not agreed to quote approval, albeit reluctantly. Organizations like Bloomberg, The Washington Post, Vanity Fair, Reuters and The New York Times have all consented to interviews under such terms. We dont like the practice, said Dean Baquet, managing editor for news at The New York Times. We encourage our reporters to push back. Unfortunately this practice is becoming increasingly common, and maybe we have to push back harder.
