Is the trustworthiness of business news changing? Given the decline in resources devoted to investigative reporting in the mainstream media, is business reporting also deteriorating? Are corporate spin, ³truthiness² and flat-out errors of fact more common? How does this challenge and potentially reward researchers and competitive intelligence specialists?


Cynthia Lesky updates her well-received SLA conference presentation for the CI Division on January 29.
