Keyword: newshole Sheila Lennon -- Barb Palser, online news editor at the Poynter Institute, interviewed Lennon recently. The resulting column Every Last Word: Sources who publish transcripts of their interviews? It’s becoming more common was published in the January issue of American Journalism Review.

Lennon is nonplussed. She says, "I'm surprised so much fuss has been made about that NYT transcript. The web offers an unlimited newshole, and links can go anywhere. "Volunteer" sidebars to all sorts of stories pop up like weeds in blogosphere." [SheNews and Dan Gillmor] 3:55:55 PM
