GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDIST WORKED UNDER COVER FOR AP - PERHAPS NPR AND NY TIMES AS WELL
PR WATCH - "The Associated Press has terminated its relationship with a freelance reporter in Haiti after learning she was working for a U.S. government-sponsored organization," the National Endowment for Democracy. In October 2005, reporter Regine Alexandre began working for NED as a "part-time facilitator" between the U.S. organization and Haitian non-governmental organizations. After another journalist questioned the relationship, Alexandre "denied she was an employee."

Alexandre has also reported for the New York Times and National Public Radio, though it's unclear whether she contributed to either while working for NED.
