Columbia News Service post-interview #2 Mark Henkel - Zehra Mamdani -1- Mar 2008
from National Polygamy Advocate · host Mark Henkel
National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was post-interviewed a second time by Zehra Mamdani on March 4, 2008, for an article she would write as a student for the Columbia News Service. (This is Part 1 of that second post-interview.) After interviewing Mark Henkel in January of that year, the writer subsequently published an article on February 19, 2008, distributed to many other news sources. Because the article contained many negativities that needed to be corrected, the writer agreed to conduct an initial post-interview on February 26, 2008. She and Mark Henkel also agreed to have second post-interview later, which they conducted on March 4, 2008. This episode is the first part of the second discussion. This second post-interview opened with the writer addressing how another writer had chopped up her article which she said was “unjournalistic.” Following with mutual agreement with Mark Henkel on that point, the writer then proceeded to ask Mark Henkel to identify points in her article that were specifically inaccurate. At one point, she asked a question in such a way that Mark Henkel had to point out that she had “asked the question backwards” - that it was "reverse stated." As he clarified that specificity, she laughed. Addressing a line she had written in the article about how long the movement of Christian Polygamy had been progressing, she tried to suggest that she was, technically, not inaccurate. As Mark Henkel pointed out, the movement had specifically begun on July 4, 1994 – which was almost 14 years since the time of that second post-interview, not the 12 years as she had mistakenly reported. He then noted how it was important to specify the marking date of July 4, 1994, because other journalists and writers could mis-use her less-than-accurate statement to repeat it – just like she had complained a writer had done with her article already. The remaining parts of that second post-interview will be aired in the next coming episodes of this podcast. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com
