So says the NYT public editor about yet another NYT article on the dangers associated with U.S. shale production: "In the article and in the document viewer, readers never learn the actual positions or identities of the e-mail senders, who are characterized using descriptors like 'official,' 'energy analyst,' 'federal analyst,' 'senior adviser' or 'senior official.' Nowhere is an e-mailer characterized as an 'intern.'" (Emphasis is ours.) What's happened to the paper of record?
