And this news from Cincinnati: The reporter at the center of The Cincinnati Enquirer’s dramatic apology and $10 million payment to Chiquita Brands International pleaded guilty to two felony charges yesterday. Mike Gallagher, who had been accused of stealing Chiquita’s voicemail messages, pleaded guilty to unlawful interception of communications and unauthorized access to computer systems in a Hamilton County, Ohio, court. He faces up to two-and-a-half years in prison and a $7,500 fine. Gallagher is 40 years old. He has maintained his silence throughout the investigation. He says he had no comment when leaving the court yesterday. His attorney did not return a phone call to The Washington Post. The plea comes three months after the Enquirer published three front-page apologies to Chiquita and retracted an 18-page investigative report about the banana company’s business practices. The payment, which sources say may be closer to $15 million, was made to head off a pending lawsuit. The Enquirer also fired Gallagher, who has been named in a defamation suit by Chiquita.
