The Times says in an
editors' note that
Kurt Eichenwald didn't disclose to his editors or readers that he had sent a $2,000 check to a teenage boy he had written about. "Mr. Eichenwald said he was trying to maintain contact [with
Justin Berry] out of concern for a young man in danger, and did not consider himself to be acting as a journalist when he sent the check."
