I like "actual misleading and detrimental output," but do you have such AMDO in mind, or are you just assuming some exists? And finding out the membership ain't tough. If they aren't listed online, I can tell you who they are.

It would also be interesting to find out who exactly are its members and what conflicts of interest might exist in the context of the board's various stances. But if you don't think that's sufficiently local I can try to think up something else, or if you can think of an approach that you'd be interested in let me know.On Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 3:28 PM, Tim Rogers <timr@dmagazine.com> wrote:I'm more interested in some other aspects of the edit board. First, I bet most of our readers have no idea how an edit board functions or what it's role within the paper is. The highest-paid people at the paper work on the edit board. They serve at the pleasure of the publisher. They do VERY LITTLE actual work. It's a weird gig in this day and age. But this is true of all edit boards at all big papers. So I'm not sure how to make this specific to Dallas. And, yeah, the edit board is pointless. No one reads their endorsements and votes accordingly. Their scribblings do not drive debate; tweets from nobodys now do that.
Too much of the above, though, is, as I said, a national thing. What's the particular story about THIS board? I'm not sure what that story is.On Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 2:21 PM, Barrett Brown <barriticus@gmail.com> wrote:
Thanks. Also, regarding my next piece and my mention of the Dallas Morning News, I was thinking that perhaps I could do a dissection of the editorial board's record of making judgement calls and implied predictions over the past ten years. Let me know if something like that would interest you, otherwise I'll keep thinking. Off for a walk on the Katy Trail, yo.--
