Mark Felt, number two in the FBI during the Nixon years now 91, said this week "I am the guy the used to call Deep Throat". This "guy" is the best well kept source of all times in the history of journalism. The debate reappears: Should we use anonymous sources to get big news? What about the recent anonymous source of Newsweek? Is using them not serious journalism? Have you ever had to use them? How? Which rules should we apply when using anonymous sources?
Please let me know your comments to post them.
