The Lost/Stolen iPhone & the Job of a Journalist
Nick Bilton with the NY Times has an interesting discussion of the "stolen" iPhone on the Bits blog. Bilton interviewed Mark Rasch, a former Justice Department official. Both Bilton's questions and Rasch's answers are worth a read.
My favorite exchange:
Q: Is Gizmodo wrong for publishing images of the phone?
A: The job of a journalist is to find information that companies and people don't want published.
