EDITORS’ NOTE
The Times has suspended Michael Hiltzik’s Golden State blog on latimes.com. Hiltzik admitted Thursday that he posted items on the paper’s website, and on other websites, under names other than his own. That is a violation of The Times ethics guidelines, which require editors and reporters to identify themselves when dealing with the public. The guidelines apply to both the print and online editions of the newspaper.
The Times is investigating the postings.
