the ucd/malcolm x park incident of may 11-12 wasn't
mentioned in the philly public record prior to tony's june
14 story, was it?

No. Not newsworthy enough, from our perspective.



thanks. that helps clarify what I was asking paul about:

now that we know the article you wrote was the first mention you or your paper made about the ucd incident since it happened a month ago (rather than an ongoing story you or your paper were covering), paul's question becomes one about the appropriateness of yourself, as a reporter, being personally involved in the article you wrote. (for example, was your involvement with uclist over this incident as a reporter? as focp board member?) [do I have that right, paul?]

and the question becomes more interesting, when we consider what you mean by 'newsworthy': in your article, was the news of the ucd incident a pretext for your writing about special service districts, or was writing about special service districts a pretext for your presenting, as a publicist, ucd's 2nd press release about the ucd incident? or--?
