Power to the bloggers

Earlier this month, Tyler Green pointed out on Modern Art Notes that New York Times art critic Grace Glueck served on the Clark Art Institute's board of trustees, in violation of the paper's ethics policy. Apparently his post had consequences.

From the New York Sun: Ms. Glueck resigned from the board after Tyler Green, writing on ArtsJournal.com, suggested the situation was a potential conflict of interest. Mr. Green cited the Times' handbook of ethical guidelines, which prohibits both staff writers and freelancers from joining "boards of trustees, advisory committees or similar groups except those serving journalistic organizations or otherwise promoting journalism education."

So there.
