A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I solicited your ideas and promised some of my own thoughts on how to aid and abet do-it-yourself media criticism. The response was heavy enough that I’ve violated my usual practice of answering every e-mail, though I have read them all now. Consider this a wholesale thank you to all who wrote.

My own idea is simplicity itself and probably not very original, though I do think it would prove surprisingly helpful to press watchers. Now that transcripts of just about every government press briefing are available online, the communications offices at the White House, Pentagon, State Department, and elsewhere should take the extra step of identifying by name the reporters who ask questions.
