Editor & Publisher reports that Wall Street Journal Managing Editor Paul Steiger and Washington Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. were asked to take part in the last weekend’s joint op-ed piece by the editors of the New York Times and Los Angeles Times, which defended the bank monitoring story.
