Re: JCO: Re: Nobel for literature to be awarded Thursday, 10/13/2005

It's the website of The Guardian, a national daily newspaper in the UK, so it's reputable.

And like every other reputable paper, they are reporting on "speculation." They (all of the reputable papers) have no sources of verifiable information. They do not know who is nominated; they do not know who is on the Nobel committee's "short list"; they do not know who the "front-runners" are. So every year otherwise reputable papers become rumor-mongers because otherwise they would have nothing to report other than "the Nobel Prize in Literature will be announced on thursday."
