Watch What You Write

The New York Times published a story yesterday that caught my eye.  It talked about how the Internet is giving interview subjects the power to respond to articles in a new way.  News sources are putting transcripts of their interviews with reporters online and posting entire e-mail interview threads on their blogs.

There is one lively situation the Times story discusses in which Mark Cuban was interviewed electronically for an NYT story and, unhappy with the result, posted the interview on his blog. Feel free to click to Cuban's post.  It's lively reading.  I'm not suggesting that such tactics ought to be widely practiced.  It is a powerful way to make a point, but it may come at the expense of your relationship with the reporter.

What I am suggesting is this: Watch what you write!
