NYT's Sorkin downplays rift

Mergers and acquisitions reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin of the New York Times told Keith Kelly of the New York Post that he has not heard complaints that he seeks too much credit and is a divisive person in the newsroom.

The complaints focus on a passage in Sorkin’s new book about Wall Street in which there was no credit given to a Times’ story.

Kelly writes, “Reached yesterday, Sorkin said, ‘I hate to disappoint you, but I haven’t heard about any flap inside The Times.

“‘I had gotten copies of Paulson’s calendars and the waivers through Freedom of Information Act requests. I received the documents and had filed the chapter that included them in late July weeks before The Times article was published.

“‘I have spoken to Don and told him I’d be happy to include a citation in the 40 pages of end notes as a courtesy in the next printing.'”
