BOSTON (AP) - A fact-checking investigation commissioned by MIT's Technology Review magazine has raised further doubts about sourcing and accuracy in stories written by a freelance journalist.
Just three of 10 stories Michelle Delio wrote for Technology Review's Web site could be verified by a journalism professor hired by the magazine to examine the stories published between December and March.
"It's possible that she's kept bad records, that some of her sources have misled her, and that she is more sinned against than sinning," said Jason Pontin, Technology Review's editor-in-chief. "But the truth is I cannot verify the sources in seven of the 10 stories she's written for us, therefore do not stand by them."
