Update on independent review into Paresh Jha’s contest entries
Tuesday, July 10, 2012
To the CT SPJ Members:
As planned in our previous action, the current and former CTSPJ presidents today consulted with Roy Gutterman, who has been hired by the Board of Directors to conduct an independent investigation of two award-winning contest entries by Paresh Jha.
Gutterman said he has directly contacted and interviewed most of the sources in both entries. He is continuing to reach out to other named sources in the packages, and to Jha himself.
He has also had multiple conversations with Hearst Connecticut Newpaper editors. They are cooperating with the investigation.
We anticipate his review and recommendations will be completed on time by July 31.
We will update you further after that report is issued, and any actions are taken on the entries by the current Board of Directors.
To continue to offer feedback on this, or other contest matters, email us at: contest@ctspj.org
