On a Gritty Shore, California Dreaming
The NY Times
By Jake Mooney
A short article about plans to bring beach volleyball to Coney Island, contains this disclosure (emphasis added):
The tournament, to be televised live on NBC, is scheduled for Aug. 17 to 20, and the league plans to build a 4,000-seat stadium and 12 outer courts next to the Boardwalk. Its promotional partner is Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment, a company controlled by the developer Bruce Ratner, who is a development partner in the Midtown office tower being built by The New York Times Company.
The Times has been criticized in the past for not disclosing their business relationship with Forest City Ratner. Is today's disclosure part of a change in policy, or a haphazard application of journalistic principles?
