<div>Dear Rony</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think that we Journalists are not Spies nor ill hearted Policemen looking trap people and send them to jail but people who collect information in a standard manner so as to bring about good governance and social justice.</div>
<div>Class of journalistic cultures apart, your reporter who goes to NAZA and refuses<br>to collaborate with his source about the nitty gritty of spacecrafting and go hom to waffle, will find the gates of NAZA closed the next time he comes calling. Science reporting is one area where ONLY the news sources create controversies and shoulder them and a reporter who dares create one gets burnt.</div>
<div>This is the point I wan to drive home</div>

<br>In the French tradition, in which I have also worked, showing quotes to interviewees is considered standard procedure. In the American tradition, it is an absolute No-No. <br><br>The real point I was trying to get across is that your statement that it is an ethical violation not to show one's quotes to an interviewee is simply not a universally recognized principle.<br>
