Don’t Miss This #2: Keeping Up in the Midst of Health Care News Dominance
Here’s another cool distraction from saturation health care coverage: people I work with making it into the mainstream media.
Patrick Boyle, Youth Today editor, blogger, author, friend, continues to pop up in places other than Youth Today for his expertise on and journalistic coverage of, well, youth-related issues.
This time, CNN caught up with him for a quote as part of its coverage of a civil trial about sexual abuse and secrecy in the Boy Scouts. (I could only find the transcript of the March 19 “Situation Room” broadcast where Patrick was quoted. Working on finding the video, but so far am not succeeding; see below for another segment with video.)
Patrick was on the case long before Wolf Blitzer et. al, however, having in 1994 written a book called “Scout’s Honor,” which documented sexual abuse in, as the subtitle reads, “America’s Most Trusted Institution” (read it online for free at Youth Today’s website).

Update: We found another CNN segment featuring Patrick’s comments on the Scout story:
