Rick Bookstaber: Full-Information Journalism

A wonderful Article from rick Bookstaber, author of A Demon of Our Own Design which I mentioned the other day in Understanding Liquidity Risk.  It explores the idea of journalistic bias and the professionalism of journalists, editors, and publishers.

But when I see one story about a candidate covered on page 1 and another story put below the fold on page D-22, or when I see follow-up coverage on one story and another story dropped after its first mention, full-information journalism requires that I know if the person making that decision wants that candidate to win or to lose.
