From the supplier: The mistakes made by the San Jose Mercury News in reporting alleged links between the CIA selling crack cocaine in inner cities can help journalists learn how to do a better job. Executive Editor Jerry Ceppos has apologized for the low quality of work by Gary Webb, who wrote the "Dark Alliance" series, and by all Ceppos' staff, including himself. Journalism needs to keep publishing high-quality investigative reporting, and Ceppos' acceptance of responsibility helps restore high standards to this process.
