      A journalism ethics question: if the president talks to you off the record, is it OK to quote him as "a source close to the president" or a "source familiar with the president's thinking"?

      "Source close" suggests it's another person, so that's a no-no. "Source familiar" has the same problem. An everyday reader wouldn't suppose that the president himself would be behind those formulations.

      Sometimes you just have to go with "source," and leave it at that.

      when on TV, i like "well-placed source." but that doesn't work as well online.

          This is a ludicrous. If your job is to speak truth to power you do NOT HIDE when power talks back. You are complicit in a lie of omission when the worlds most powerful person gets to propagandize via the press anonymously. If the president speaks, YOU TELL US. That is your JOB.

          Would you afford the same courtesy to Kim Jong Un, for example, if he called you to dictate some lines for your next column? It seems to me that once anonymity is granted to defer to a powerful source, rather than to protect whistleblowers, a line has been crossed.

          This misrepresents a "planted story" as a "leak". Misleading the public upon request of government officials is propaganda not journalism. Are there no reporters with the intengrity to turn down a "scoop" rather than act as willing propagandists?!

          I thought off the record meant not to be reported at all .... at least it did when Obama was president.
