NYT Public Editor Art Brisbane took up the issue of undisclosed potential conflicts of interest by the people who write for the NYT. It is a serious discussion. Presumably it means that the NYT should inform readers of things like the fact that former head of President Clinton’s Council Of Economic Advisers, Laura Tyson, is also a board member at Morgan Stanley. It would have to do the same when it runs a column by Erskine Bowles, the former co-chair of President Obama’s deficit commission.
