Ward Churchill: The Journalists' Investigation

by Joe Katzman
Winds of Change.NET
June 24, 2005

The Rocky Mountain News decided to look into Ward "little Eichmanns" Churchill in a serious way, sifting through complex scholarly debates and doing in-depth research around issues like plagiarism and his claims of Indian anscestry. It required serious, tenacious investigative journalism, sustained attention, and the ability to convey context - all rare commodities these days. The four major areas investigated were Fabrication, Plagiarism, Mischaracterization, and Misrepresentation.

The verdict: guilty of all charges, in detail.

Their series was so good that the Colorado University panel had to extend their hearings, and the sustained spotlight is also cleansing. For myself, I particularly appreciated their work setting historical truths straight in a public setting. It matters.

Discarded Lies has the full story, and the links. Take a deserved bow, Rocky Mountain News - and chalk one up for the establishment media.
