Is it a mere coincidence that it comes after Federal Computer Week's story appeared on Aug. 22?The 'Trojan horse' story was picked up in DOD's popular news round-up. (Sorry -- the Early Bird is only available to dot-mil domains.)For those less familiar with the journalism world, it is often easier to follow-up on stories once the original story has been broken. That is, in part, because organizations have pulled together the information for the initial queries.The WP story also does not make any reference to the FCW story, although I would be surprised if the timing was merely a coincidence. The dailies and mainstream news organizations sometimes see the trade press as second-class journalist citizens. However, many good reporters read our publications to keep track of some individual areas. The WP is unlikely to ever do a piece on enterprise architecture, for example, yet the business reference models are a staple of FCW coverage.Back to the hacking story... This is a story that FCW senior reporter Frank Tiboni has been working for a long time. I don't like to pat ourselves on the back too often, but he did a nice job... and the WP story only makes that more clear.So ends the self-congratulations.UPDATE #3 (2:48p ET): The actually credits both the WP and FCW. "The investigation into the hacking and the debate about the origin were first reported by Federal Computer Week and The Washington Post," the story says.
