Abstract

Article by reporter Ted Cohen, describing his recent dismissal by the "Portland Press Herald," and discussing the fact that he is the reporter who in 2000 discovered the 1976 drunken-driving arrest of George W. Bush in Kennebunkport. The "Portland Press Herald," under editor Jeannine Guttman, failed to print the story, garnering wide-spread criticism. Cohen, 53, claims Guttman has undermined the credibility of the newsroom that her predecessor, Louis Ureneck, spent years building. Further, Cohen maintains that his current editor, 31-year-old Ryan Blethen, son of owner Frank Blethen, has been after him since he joined the paper 15 months ago. Cohen has worked for the paper for nearly 30 years.
