"The Associated Press has terminated its relationship with a freelance reporter in Haiti after learning she was working for a U.S. government-sponsored organization," the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). In October 2005, reporter Regine Alexandre began working for NED as a "part-time facilitator" between the U.S. organization and Haitian non-governmental organizations. After another journalist questioned the relationship, Alexandre "denied she was an employee." However, NED confirmed her employment, saying "it was unaware when it hired Alexandre that she worked for the AP or any other media organization." Alexandre has ... reported for the New York Times and National Public Radio, though it's unclear whether she contributed to either while working for NED. [[1]

From telegraph to teletype to satellite to the web, the Associated Press keeps on technology's cutting edge. And since 2000 they've taken advantage of FileMaker Pro's powerful web-access features to provide useful data to subscribers. "AP uses FileMaker Pro to make editorial databases available to member news organizations who link to these databases to provide information via their own websites," says Systems Editor Bob Weston. "So if you were to go to your hometown newspaper's website, you might find a link to 'the wire,' and you'd follow that link to the information in the database."

After an exhausting seven months of polling, MTV and the Associated Press have finished a survey of America's youth. (Those aged 13-24, at least.) Turns out, kids are happy! Especially white kids, who apparently love their parents, believe in God, want to make gobs of money, and think technology "makes people happier." Half of them never turn off their cell phones. Just wait until you're WORKING with these freaks. You'll be the unhappy one!

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- An Associated Press story on Feb. 7 said critics of the Council of Conservative Citizens had complained of anti-Semitic postings on the group's Web site. The anti-Jewish e-mails actually appeared in an electronic ``mailroom'' that was accessible through the CCC Web site and open to anyone who wished to write comments. Gordon Baum, chief executive of the St. Louis-based group, said the CCC does not endorse anti-Semitic views. The mailroom has since been shut down because of the volume of postings, Baum said.
