In Data Cartels, Sarah Lamdan addresses the power of a few corporations over information in several domains. Her analysis is directly relevant to the experience of Prometheus with its previous publisher, Taylor & Francis (T&F). Stuart Macdonald, general editor of Prometheus, organized a forum on shaken baby syndrome (SBS). A lead article by Waney Squier was arranged and then a range of respondents, of which I was one, offered their thoughts on, and analyses of, Squier’s article and SBS issues more generally. This tried-and-true approach to intellectual engagement is especially illuminating when diverse perspectives are involved. SBS is a controversial topic, but then so are many issues addressed by Prometheus contributors. For some reason, T&F raised a never-ending series of ever-changing objections to the SBS forum. Stuart found it outrageous that a publisher would interfere with the freedom to express views on a controversial topic when there was no specific concern about legal risks.
