An interesting lesson in how journalism happens.

On Feb. 14, David Kirkpatrick published a piece in the New York Times on the paperback edition of Dave Eggers' book. Eggers wasn't pleased with the article and listed his complaints and published the email exchange he had with Kirkpatrick (10,000 words in all).

Inside publishes a story on the controversy. Slate publishes a summary of Eggers' complaints (with commentary).

Kirkpatrick responds on the medianews.org letters page.
