INDUSTRY: No Facebook or Wikipedia for French Reporters

by Barbara Fought
Well, maybe we should learn something from the French.
A European equivalent to AP, Agence France Presse, says to its reporters -- don't get sources from Facebook or Wikipedia. You likely read about the bogus posting about the Bhutto son that many news organizations fell for. And since about anyone can change a Wikipedia entry, most news organizations don't ever trust it as a primary sourse, either. Logo from facebook.com
