Reuters 'spikes' story on photographer killed in Baghdad
Reuters deputy Brussels bureau chief Luke Baker penned a "muscular" story that gave strong consideration to the possibility that the slaying of Reuters photographers Namir Noor-Eldeen and Saeed Chmagh -- which has received greater attention as a result of the now well-trafficked video from WikiLeaks -- may have constituted a war crime.
Reuters EIC David Schlesinger subsequently spiked, watered down and then repurposed the story. Gawker's John Cook has the details, and the original story from Baker.
Cook points out the distinction between Schlesinger's "muted" response to the WikiLeaks disclosure, and Baker's article.
