Hiltzik's blog suspended
The LA Times' Michael Hiltzik has been taken off of his own Golden State blog at the latimes.com website. Here's the message from the editors: The Times has suspended Michael Hiltzik’s Golden State blog on latimes.com. Hiltzik admitted Thursday that he posted items on the paper’s website, and on other websites, under names other than his own. That is a violation of The Times ethics guidelines, which requires editors and reporters to identify themselves when dealing with the public. The policy applies to both the print and online editions of the newspaper. The Times is investigating the postings. The Washington Post has the story. And the Hiltzik critics, Independent Sources, Hugh Hewitt, and Potterico are all over the story. |
