"I think one of the things we as journalists implore is to be up-front about who you are and what you're doing," Shane Fitzgerald, the paper's executive editor, told the Inquirer and Daily News on Tuesday. "My concern is that when someone like this pulls a stunt like that, it taints journalists who are well-meaning and have integrity. We have enough of our own fights with the public and politicians that we don't need things like this."
