I got an e-mail this week from the mother of a student quoted in Saturday’s story about the Brunswick High School bomb threat. She was upset that our reporter didn’t call her for permission to quote her son, and wanted to know what our policy was in regards to printing the full name and town of residence of a minor child.

I sent her a private response, but thought the topic might be good for the blog.

Sunday’s installment of Berkeley Breathed’s “Opus” comic raised a red flag for some newspapers.

I’d like to address an issue raised by some of our online readers about today’s story, “Watchdog Wilson.” The story was the centerpiece on Page A1 of the Press Herald and was the first story on pressherald.com this morning.
