On September 5, 2010, The New York Times published the results of a 6-month investigation led by Van Natta into alleged malpractice at the News of the World, a British newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation. The News of the World dismissed the allegations as unsubstantiated and said “the investigation was tainted by a vested interest in the outcome”. They also accused The New York Times of flawed reporting and of being motivated by commercial rivalry. In a letter to the Times’ Public Editor Arthur Brisbane, The News of the World cited seven breaches of The New York Times’ own ethical guidelines on accuracy, use of anonymous sources, bias, impartiality, honest treatment of competitors, reader benefit and conflict of interest. They also questioned the professional detachment of Van Natta, who they claimed had sent a Twitter message linking to a personal attack on News Corp owner Rupert Murdoch alongside a message which read: “The Last Great Newspaper War”. In a blog post following publication of the News of the World story, media commentator Michael Wolff characterised Van Natta as a Times’s “enforcer” and “insider, loyalist and gun”. In his column, Brisbane broadly supported the Times’ reporting but conceded that it relied heavily on anonymous sources and that presentation of the story and gratuitous references to Murdoch could leave room for suspicions of a “hidden agenda”.
