- When CampusJ broke the story of Columbia University’s administration colluding with the New York Times to keep student input out of an article about academic freedom on campus, Jason Maoz of The Jewish Press wrote:

Special note should be made of the role played in all of this by the blogsite CampusJ (www.campusj.com), which was on the story immediately and never let up its dogged pursuit of the Times. The blog’s founder and driving force, Steven I. Weiss, made repeated calls to the Times — to Arensen, to a flack in the Times’s public relations department, and to the Times’s public editor, Dan Okrent. Two days before the Times’s public admission, Weiss was indicting the Times by quoting from the company’s own ethics and integrity guidelines.
Once the Times’s editor’s note finally appeared on April 6, Weiss wrote: “The Times concedes that not only its writer, but its editors, suffered an ethical lapse in negotiating the deal in the first place. That the Times then sought professor response, but not student response, speaks volumes. The question remains how a story [like this one] got through the editorial process and ran on the front page.”
