After noticing an 20-word verbatim quotation without quotation marks in the “Factually” newsletter jointly published by the American Press Institute and the Poynter Institute, we emailed Susan Benkelman, the API co-author of the July 2, 2020 edition of the newsletter, to find the explanation for not clarifying the attribution and/or adding quotation marks.
Benkelman directs API’s accountability journalism program.
We received a short response from Benkelman, which accounts for our use of the “Interviews” tag.
