Child-porn story debate continues

This week, New York Times reporter Kurt Eichenwald appeared on CNN's "Reliable Sources" and NPR's "All Things Considered" to discuss his recent story about online child porn and the ethical dilemmas he faced during his reporting.

"Reliable Sources" host Howard Kurtz asked: "did Eichenwald get too close to his source and break some journalist rules in the process?" Eichenwald explained the circumstances of the case, and noted that "we were dealing with real children at real risk that we knew about, and we knew where they were." Eichenwald said:

I had the facts of this situation. We had very few good choices. And we made the one that I am actually the most proud of. I couldn't be prouder of "The New York Times."
