| Rob and Doug Ford back when |
The Globe and Mail has outed itself on an impending review of its work in publishing stories told by ten anonymous sources on the activities of Doug Ford as a young man. The story raised many eyebrows because it seemed like the newspaper was trying to get back in the game after the Toronto Star’s series of exposures on the Mr. Ford’s brother, Mayor Rob Ford, allegedly smoking cocaine and other revelations. The Ontario Press Council will hold a hearing in September on both papers after receiving complaints from the public. The two complaints will serve as representative of the 41 received by the independent press council — six of which were in writing, the rest by phone. “The council has determined that the issue to be addressed in each of the two hearings is whether the newspaper has engaged in irresponsible, unethical investigative reporting,” council executive director Don McCurdy said in a statement. Globe and Mail.
