Epileptic seizures hurt memory, ex-’Times’ reporter says
October 19th, 2007From National Public Radio:
Former New York Times investigative reporter Kurt Eichenwald, who has drawn criticism for not telling his editors about payments he and his wife made to a onetime teen pornographer, tells NPR that he has “significant memory disruptions” caused by epilepsy.
He says he simply forgot to tell editors that he and his wife had paid at least $3,100 to Justin Berry and his business partners as part of an effort to extract him from the child-porn business.
Eichenwald says, “I didn’t want to be judged on my challenges. I wanted to be judged on my work.”
The story will be aired on All Things Considered later today.
