The things Press reporters go through...
In the latest Houston Press, reporter Craig Malisow recounts his nerve-wracking experiences researching a story on the murky world of online pharmacies.
In the course of doing research on various message boards, Malisow managed inadvertently to get his personal email account hacked (hint to readers: don't use the same password on your various online accounts, especially if those accounts involve the shady world of illicit online drug buying!).
Malisow also managed to draw Romenesko's attention with an email that the Village Voice corporate chieftains probably didn't appreciate all that much.
And on top of all that, he was paid a visit by DEA agents after the publication of his story, even though he couldn't interest them in his experiences while working on the story.
I hope the guy's editor at least took him out for a beer after work.
