LOOK ELSEWHERE, DIOGENES :

Journalists' donations raise question of conflict (Bill Dedman, 7/18/2002, Boston Globe)

All the candidates are fighting to get favorable coverage from the press in the intensifying governor's race. But Democrat Robert Reich is collecting something else from the media: campaign contributions.

Nineteen journalists have made donations to candidates in the governor's race, according to public records, and 15 of them wrote their checks to Reich, the former US labor secretary from Cambridge. [...]

Some of the journalists say they are drawn to Reich's liberalism, while others know him personally. The journalists say they don't see any conflicts of interest.
