Have a criticism or question about an article in The Post?
In his Listening Post column which appears most Thursdays, C.B. Hanif addresses readers' comments about the accuracy and fairness of the paper's news and feature articles.
As Listening Post Editor, Hanif explains how the newspaper works while making it more accessible and accountable. The critical elements of his column are readers' concerns and the responses from reporters, photographers or editors.
His airing of the family laundry may criticize or defend the staff depending on the case at hand. The conclusions expressed are his own, and he serves in an advisory rather than disciplinary or policy-setting role.
Aside from circulation and advertising concerns, or opinions expressed in the editorial and letters columns, most news and feature articles are fair game. Borrowing a line from a fellow member of the international Organization of News Ombudsmen (
http://www.newsombudsmen.org), Hanif often says:
"It can be the best job at the paper and the worst job at the paper - all in the same day."
Go ahead. Make his day.
