For comprehensive listing of press coverage of Daniel Pearl after his 23 January kidnapping by the South Asian Journalists Association (though little about the period before the kidnapping):
http://www.saja.org/pearl.html Linked from the SAJA site, a February 2, 2002, interview of ex-CIA officer Robert Baer on global intelligence agencies' use of journalists: "WNYC On the Media: Ex-CIA agent says Pearl is no spy:" http://www.wnyc.org/new/talk/onthemedia/transcripts_020202_spy.html >From Editor and Publisher, February 8, 2002: Back at The Wall Street Journal, Byron Calame, a deputy managing editor, told E&P that many in the newsroom do not know exactly what is happening with the Pearl case because such information is being kept under tight control. >From New York Observer, February [?], 2002: This internal ignorance is partially due to the WSJs own strategy of keeping any company decisions related to Mr. Pearl very close to the vest. To date, there have been no meetings with reporters in the New York offices to talk about Mr. Pearl, no group discussions to air things out. The last official memo sent was on Friday, Feb. 8, by Journal managing editor Paul Steiger and Dow Jones chief executive Peter Kann. The company has continued to hold its cards close: It has limited access to Mr. Steiger who is slated to accept an award on Thursday, Feb. 21, for "Editor of the Year" by the National Press Foundation in Washington, D.C. February 21 is the date of news release of the Pearl killing tape. Don't know if Steiger got his award.
