Know Your Ombudsmen
We all know journalists and editors can't be trusted, so we live in the age of the ombudsman. We're actually looking forward to the day when the NY Post gets one. The reports are going to be like: "More dead bodies on the cover please! More unsubstantiated gay rumors! More gossip items about dead people who aren't dead!" Esquire introduces you to the ombudsmen who care:
"CHRISTINE CHINLUND, The Boston Globe
Credentials: Former Globe national editor.
Tends to: Expose Globe's bizarre underworld, e.g., editors barreling into a comic strip and changing the word "sucking" to "wacked."
Now, that's ombudsing: After an internal investigation, revealed that the Globe printed incorrect Powerball results five times in a single month."
