I have learned a few interesting items about the scene over at Newsweek this week. The publication has received a number of threats against staff members. Perhaps not surprisingly, a number of cameras and reporters are staked outside the Newsweek offices attempting to interview staff members as they enter and exit the building.
Since offering his resignation, Michael Isikoff to the best of my knowledge has not returned to the Newsweek offices. He is “lying low” for the time being and in a “pretty bad place” regarding his feelings on the fallout from his reporting.
I have also learned that the Newsweek staff is having multiple meetings to discuss the ramifications from this story, debating their use of anonymous sources and approach to coverage.
