The Boston Herald isn't saying whether it will appeal or apologize after Massachusetts' highest court upheld a $2.01 million libel verdict against the paper. But it says it remains "unwavering in our complete confidence in [reporter
David] Wedge's journalistic skills." Northeastern University j-school director
Stephen Burgard says of the case: "This is a wake-up call to reporters everywhere that you better have your reporting down solid. You better have heard it yourself, or you better have people on the record." ||
Boston Herald: "Some found it surprising that the [court] came down so hard on the Herald and Wedge in its opinion."
