Media in Chaos: How Much Disclosure is Too Much? December 05, 2005 Moderator Floyd Abrams, Partner, Cahill Gordon & Reindel William J. Brennan Jr. Professor, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism Participants Ken Auletta The New Yorker Eve Burton, General Counsel, Hearst Corporation Shelby Coffey, Freedom Forum Fellow Norman Pearlstine, Editor-in-chief, Time, Inc. Too much “transparency” among print and broadcast journalists can promote timidity among younger reporters, is one opinion expressed at a recent First Amendment Breakfast. “They will be afraid to make mistakes,” argued Eve Burton, general counsel for the Hearst Corporation, and one of four panelists who spoke on the topic “Media in Chaos: How Much Disclosure is Too Much?” Working journalists on the panel – which included Ken Auletta, The New Yorker, Shelby Coffey, Freedom Forum Fellow, Norman Pearlstine, editor-in-chief, Time Inc. – leaned more fully toward disclosure of the inner workings of the press as a way to preserve the integrity of the Fourth Estate. Among his colleagues on the panel, perhaps Auletta, a prolific writer of local and national magazine articles as well as books on the print and broadcast media expressed the strongest support for “transparency” even when it results in public reprobation of print and broadcast journalism. Frankly, he surmised: “We owe it to the public.”
