Wired News Releases Source Review

By Wired News
06:30 PM May. 09, 2005 PT

MIT Technology Review Online on March 21 retracted two stories
written in whole or in part by Michelle Delio, citing the
publication's inability to confirm a source. On April 4, InfoWorld
edited four articles by Delio to remove anonymous quotes.

Wired News has published more than 700 news stories written by Delio
(under the names Michelle Delio and Michelle Finley) since 2000. In
April, we assigned journalism professor and Wired News columnist Adam
Penenberg to review recent articles written by Delio for Wired News.

Penenberg and his staff of graduate students at New York University
reviewed 160 articles, largely from 2004, but some earlier stories
were also checked.

Penenberg provided Wired News with a list of 24 stories that
contained sources he could not confirm (links are included at the end
of this story). Penenberg's report to Wired News can be downloaded
here (PDF).
