My boyfriend, Kevin, found an article on ESPN.com relating to “My paper on the use of anonymous sources.”

A Boston Herald sports writer reported that the New England Patriots taped a walk-through of the St. Louis Rams in 2002 before their Super Bowl match-up. The reporter talked to several sources, but he heavily relied on just one. And that one asked to remain anonymous.

Take a minute to read the article about it here: “Herald reporter: ‘Devastating leap of logic’ led to story.”

Sometimes it seems these sources request anonymity for a reason - and then provide inaccurate information to the public.
