Boston Globe [Updated with Lloyd Schwartz's response.] || Phoenix music critic
Lloyd Schwartz is letting students at Tanglewood Music Center -- a branch of the Boston Symphony Orchestra -- set his poems to music, with the Center reimbursing him for a trip to Tanglewood to work with the students. The Pulitzer-winning critic covers BSO, but Phoenix executive editor
Peter Kadzis doesn't see a problem with the arrangement. Poynter's Al Tompkins does, though. "It presents, if not a conflict, the appearance of conflict of interest," he says.
[An earlier version of this story summary incorrectly reported that the Boston Symphony was setting the poems to music.]
