Comment by Mark Johnson on February 15, 2009 at 8:00am - My most recent CI read was two books read more or less simultaneously: Rob Duncan's CI: FAST CHEAP AND ETHICAL, and Ben Gilad's EARLY WARNING. Both excellent, for very different reasons. And a non-CI but related book: HARVARD BUSINESS ESSENTIALS: STRATEGY which is a compendium of strategy articles from the Harvard Business Review.

So, to take this author's point:
Gathering, analyzing and disseminating information sponsored by a major media source financed directly by a combination of pharma, oil, and automotive companies: ethically honorable.
Gathering, analyzing and dissem…
