“Before reporting on the release of hacked or leaked information, there should be a conversation with senior editors about the newsworthiness of the informationm its authenticity and whether we can determine its provenance. Our emphasis should be in making a sound and well-considered decision — not on speed. We should resist the instinct to post a story simply because a competitor has done so. We should not tweet or retweet reports or comments on hacked or leaked material without first reporting them out” – excerpt of guideline memo sent to Washington Post staff by executive editor Marty Baron, tweeted by WaPo National security reporter Ellen Nakashima.
