On the quality of journalism in my industry

Word is out that Regina Dugan is leaving her post as director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to sign on with the empire of search-engine giant Google. But it looks like an ongoing Defense Department Inspector General’s office audit of DARPA contracts and conflict-of-interest policies will continue.

Thank you, Charles S. Clark of GovExec. I’ll admit that I haven’t been following this carefully, but in two weeks since the news broke of Dugan’s departure for Google, this is the first article that also reminds us of the ongoing IG investigation.

I don’t have an opinion about the investigation, or Dugan for that matter, but I do have an opinion about the quality of journalism in my industry. More reporting and fewer press releases are good for everyone.
