reporter seeking interview subjects
Hi, my name is Matt Binder. Please help me...
I'm a radio reporter in the SF Bay area working on a series
of pieces about invasions of privacy in the computer age. I'm
looking for interesting "case studies" that I can use to horrify
my listeners out of their complacency. My most immediate need is
to find someone whose medical records were used (perused!)
improperly, and/or whose records were incorrect and resulted in
the denial of insurance, employment, loans, adoptions, etc. But
please also let me know about privacy invasions in other areas
(employer e-mail monitoring, workplace drug testing, credit
problems, weird solicitations, etc.) for future stories.
I've been a science and technology reporter for ten years,
the first five at KPFA in Berkeley. This series of reports will
air on a number of different stations and networks including
Pacifica, KPFA, KQED and The Christian Science Monitor radio
network.
Feel free to circulate this request as you like.
Thanks, Matt
p.s. I will be really busy until 9/23 so don't give up on me if you
don't hear back right away.
