O. Casey Corr of Crosscut Seattle reports that BusinessWeek has won a lawsuit filed against it by a Microsoft employee who claimed that he was interviewed by a reporter for the magazine, Michelle Conlin, with the agreement that his name and employer not be mentioned.
“The case, originally filed in December 2005 in King County Superior Court, was moved to U.S. District Court in Seattle. In reply, McGraw-Hill said there never was any understanding that the interview was confidential.
“Last week, a jury sided with McGraw-Hill, saying no promise existed between Tilton and Conlin.
“The case received no press coverage but it fit a larger, ongoing national story about the increasingly edgy relationship between sources and journalists.”
