Journalists are friends of the First Amendment, and of courts that uphold it against bogus defamation claims.

As readers of this blog know, I often post here on #MeToo matters. That will still be the case with most original investigations. However, I am increasingly posting commentaries on this subject on my new Substack newsletter, "Words for the Wise."

I hope you will navigate over to my latest post on that platform.

While you are there, I hope you will explore the archives. If you like what you see, please consider subscribing. There are some special deals on offer!


Best to all, Michael


Update Oct 15: A story in Science about the National Academy of Science's ejection of Peruvian archaeologist Luis Jaime Castillo Butters from international membership, a process that began with my reporting about his misconduct.

I have been a working journalist for more than 40 years, beginning in Los Angeles as an investigative reporter and then in Paris as a travel, food, and science writer. For more than 20 years I have covered anthropology and archaeology writer for Science, Audubon, Scientific American, SAPIENS, and other publications. I have also covered sexual misconduct for The Verge, Scientific American, and others; I write about mental health, especially schizophrenia; and I engage in occasional media criticism. I returned to the USA in October 2017 after 30 years in Paris, and now live in the New York City area, where I currently teach journalism at City College of New York (I previously taught journalism at Boston University and New York University.)
