Glenn, thanks for the link to that article. It was news to me. Sounds like Ms. Nolan's biggest problem is that she did not seek the newspaper's written permission to invest in autoweb or sell the freelance article to Fortune magazine. I agree with the quote in the article that she is a very good journalist; she seems to be well-connected in the valley's VC and technology community. The Mercury News recently lost Adam Lashinsky to TheStreet.com. Both he and Nolan have been the two top technology journalists working for the Mercury News. Too bad for me....

Hmmm I think that policy sounds like it was a little tough on Chris Nolan. Since ipo investments, VC etc. are now offered to the general public through e-trade etc., it seems like the Mercury News getting close to your average individual's investment portfolio in their quest to avoid conflicts of interest. It would be one thing if she touted the stock, come on.
