Hey, That Quick Chat Looks Familiar...

Kitt Amundson "has been covering the NHL for over 12 years and is a member of the Professional Hockey Writers Association. In addition to keeping you up to date with the latest happenings in the NHL, she'll take you behind the scenes and in the locker room."Know what else she'll do? Allow her name to be attached to something that tries to pass off a conference call transcript as a one-on-one interview (or, at the very least, is intentionally misleading to that end).
Here's Kitt's file from Monday and here's Alex Ovechkin's conference call from last Thursday. An introductory paragraph here, a little editing there and, voila - original content!
To recap - these were not her questions and there's no disclosure anywhere that the Q&A was a conference call via the NHL. This is no different than if a political reporter published portions of a Presidential press conference under her byline with the headline "A quick chat with George W. Bush."
And the PHWA is worried about bloggers lowering journalistic standards?

2) Agreed that many bloggers have more "standards' than quite a few "professional journalists". The past presidential campaign certainly was a clear illustration that the profession is as good as dead!

No offense Japer if you consider yourself a journalist. I like my Caps news biased... so spin away! ;)

Agreed! (in most cases)

That is an awful gaffe, though. How could she not think this would get detected?

Like a Reese's, journalism and the NHL just go together.

I also noticed that, as a buddy said, when you compare that examiner photo to the one here (and no, that's not her on the left), apparently she doesn’t mind bending the truth a little bit.

Still though, that's pretty shameless in any arena but the sixth grade.
