Criticism

Rohter published an article titled "Brazilian Leader's Tippling Becomes National Concern", insinuating the Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva had a drinking problem that affected his presidency. [ [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C04E7DA153CF93AA35756C0A9629C8B63 Rohter, L: "Brazilian Leader's Tippling Becomes National Concern". "New York Times", 9 May 2004.] ] The article's only quoted source for Lula's alcoholism was Leonel Brizola, a sworn political enemy of Mr. da Silva. The article caused consternation in the Brazilian press. [ [http://abi.org.br/jornaldaabi/junho-2004.pdf Azêdo, M. "O repórter Larry Rohter fez bom jornalismo?". "Journal of the Brazilian Press Association", June 2004.] ] [ [http://www.unb.br/ojsdpp/viewarticle.php?id=116 Herscovitz, H.: "Lula vs. Larry Rohter: Misconceptions in International Coverage". "Brazilian Journalism Research", 2007] ] Rohter's visa was temporarily revoked (and quickly reinstated) by Brazil's government, an event which overshadowed much criticism of Rohter's reporting.
