The NFL has been rocked by the "bounty" scandal in which New Orleans Saints defensive co-ordinator Gregg Williams paid players to injure the opposition. The saga took a new twist last week when audio was released by documentary-maker Sean Pamphilon of Williams ordering his players to "go for the heads" of players who had a history of concussions and to injure the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) of a player who had a previous knee injury. The problem was that Pamphilon was only in the room to hear those words because he was filming a documentary on former Saints player Steve Gleason, who has a terminal illness. In releasing the audio Pamphilon has ruined his relationship with Gleason. ESPN spoke to Pamphilon, who himself doesn't know if he did the right thing.

During a recent news report on Today, an NBC morning television show, the network played what it said was a conversation between police dispatchers and Zimmerman, the volunteer neighborhood watchman who a few minutes later would fatally shoot a black teenager.
“This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black,” Zimmerman says on the Today Show tape. The equation is simple: “Black” equals “up to no good” equals Zimmerman is a racist stalker.
But it turns out that quote was stitched together like Frankenstein. Listening to the conversation before NBC’s editing, you get a very different picture. From the McClatchy's site.

Not to indulge in too much golden age-ism, but you can't help but reflect on the present state of the British press after reading this letter from the editor of the Daily Mail to his staff in 1966.

For those who missed this event at the Frontline Club on Monday, here is the streamed video. The event looked at how the rules of reporting are being rewritten by risk. Journalists working in areas of conflict reveal how they get information when traditional techniques are insufficient. The discussion focused on the interaction between local hires and foreign journalists.

Greg Smith's letter of resignation from Goldman Sachs, published in the New York Times, has created a stir in the investment banking industry. His devastating critique of the company is incredibly unusual. It also raises some fascinating questions about the company – and finance capitalism in general. While The Guardian worries about the questions about ethical responsibilities it raises for employees, those people at The Daily Mash have a somewhat different take on the story.

What I really love is Shamil Basayev's head on Putin's desk. And the way Medvedev, dressed as Robin to Putin's Batman, grows in stature and then is eclipsed by his patron. There is so much to like in this piece for anyone following events in Russia.
