That’s an issued Wired has raised on the heels of the Washington Post syndicating content from the popular TechCrunch blog run by Michael Arrington.
Wired notes that it’s odd the Washington Post, one of the nation’s most trusted and revered newspapers, would run stories written by an ex-lawyer who admits he may advise or invest in companies that are covered on his site.
While I appreciate that Arrington discloses his ties to the companies he covers, this is one instance where I think Journalism 101 rules apply to Web 2.0.
