Excellent and detailed piece of journalism by Eric Hananoki, with additional reporting by Joe Strupp that appeared at the Media Matters, who said with credible evidence that "The Wall Street Journal has published op-eds from 10 writers without disclosing their roles as advisers to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign." They've also said they've checked the Wall Street Journal's identifications of the op-ed writers through its website and the Factiva database.
While I'm glad you called attention to this issue, I'd like to see the Media Matters post featured more prominently than a blog post summarizing their research. Attribution is a little unclear in paragraphs 4 and 5. Is all of the info from the previous Media Matters story, or are you drawing from your own research?
