From: Matt Binder <binder () well sf ca us> Subject: reporter seeking interview subjects Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1993 23:08:53 -0700 Hi, my name is Matt Binder. Please help me... I'm a radio reporter in the SF Bay area working on a series of pieces about invasions of privacy in the computer age. I'm looking for interesting "case studies" that I can use to horrify my listeners out of their complacency. My most immediate need is to find someone whose medical records were used (perused!) improperly, and/or whose records were incorrect and resulted in the denial of insurance, employment, loans, adoptions, etc. But please also let me know about privacy invasions in other areas (employer e-mail monitoring, workplace drug testing, credit problems, weird solicitations, etc.) for future stories. I've been a science and technology reporter for ten years, the first five at KPFA in Berkeley. This series of reports will air on a number of different stations and networks including Pacifica, KPFA, KQED and The Christian Science Monitor radio network. Feel free to circulate this request as you like. Thanks, Matt p.s. I will be really busy until 9/23 so don't give up on me if you don't hear back right away. I'm binder () well sf ca us
