All the News that Fits a Haiku

I was a guest on the Dori Monson show on Seattle's KIRO 710 Wednesday afternoon, discussing the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's decision to refuse the FBI's request to publish a photo of two men seen acting suspiciously on a number of Seattle-area ferries in recent weeks. I explore the Seattle P-I's refusal - and its related haiku-writing contest - in a series of posts at Newsbusters on Tuesday and Wednesday.

You can hear my appearance on Seattle radio here. Listen online or download the mp3 file. The segment is more than 23 minutes long, and includes listener calls after I left the air. I did the show via cell phone while driving from Green Hills to Franklin in heavy traffic - not a great way to do a live interview as the attention demands of driving in heavy traffic caused a few "uhs" and pauses, but unavoidable given my Wednesday schedule.
