David Shaw, RIP

Los Angeles Times media critic David Shaw died last night. Though Shaw was disdainful of bloggers (they don't have "four experienced editors" checking their copy), he was also a talented and honest journalist. I first ran across Shaw's work nearly a decade ago as I was working on my senior project at Cal Poly SLO—an analysis of abortion coverage in the Los Angeles Times in 1990. In my extensive Lexis-Nexis research, I discovered a series by Shaw examining the very same thing.

I found Shaw's criticisms of extensive bias against the pro-life position in American media to be well-founded, and his research helped guide my own work.

He will be missed.
