Pretend you are the editor of a magazine that follows bank stocks. You arrange a Q&A interview with the manager of a mutual fund that invests in bank stocks. The mutual fund is part of the magazine’s 401(k) retirement plan, and the editor is part of the plan. Should you conduct the interview, or should you find a staff member who is not invested in the retirement plan to conduct the interview? If you find a staff member to conduct the interview should you be involved in editing the transcript?
