You can hardly critique a guy who nailed the first-ever interview with the world’s most wanted drug lord. Yet, critique Sean Penn we did.
Sean Penn, if you remember, is an actor … an actor who, no matter how hard he tries (even after winning two Academy Awards for Best Actor), will never quite shake his most memorable role: stoned surfer Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Bogus, bud.
Mr. Penn is also a filmmaker, political activist, and he can now add journalist to his bio since penning a 10,000-word article about his secret meeting with Joaquín Guzmán Loera (known as El Chapo).
But, “Not so fast,” say professional journalists. Is Sean Penn someone we can trust?
Shortly after Rolling Stone published the article at midnight on Saturday, January 9, 2016, journalists from Dallas to New York have been picking the interview apart. Sonia Simone and Stefanie Flaxman even weighed in on the discussion on Copyblogger.FM.
One of the most notable and useful critiques that Sonia and Stefanie discussed comes from Kelly McBride, media ethicist and Poynter’s Vice President for Academic Programs.
Interestingly enough, though, McBride argues that the article’s journalistic failures should not rest on Penn’s shoulders.
