. . . stories about serious, unacknowledged abuses [no longer] get printed, and eventually reporters learn not to waste their time turning over rocks if no one will officially confirm when something hideous slithers out. And once that happens, they cease being journalists and become akin to the scribes of antiquity, whose sole task was to faithfully record the pharaoh’s words in clay. It is this latter standard that was championed by Abrams in the Tailwind case and to some extent by San Jose Mercury News editor Jerry Ceppos in the case of my “Dark Alliance” series in 1996. Under these new rules, it isn’t enough anymore for a reporter to have on-the-record sources and supporting documentation. Now they must have something called “proof.” Investigative stories must be “proven” in order to reach the public; having “insufficient evidence” is now cause for retraction and dismissal.46
