He also attended the American Press Institute for Restials at Columbia University." John Seigenthaler wrote about Wikipedia in a A false Wikipedia 'biography' by John Seigenthaler USA Today op-ed on November 30, 2005.This is a more detailed version of the same piece.
At age 78, I thought I was beyond feeling surprise, anger or hurt at anything negative anybody wrote or said about me. I was wrong. It was infuriating to read that stuff under my name. It was mind-boggling when my son, John Seigenthaler, the weekend anchor for NBC News, phoned from New York to say he had discovered the same scurrilous text on two other collaborative websites, Reference.com and Answers.com. And, it was painful to realize that what had appeared might hurt two other people, my son, whose middle initial is M (mine is L), and my grandson, John B. Seigenthaler, called Jack.
