Utilizó el pseudónimo de "Mikekoshi" para ocultar su identidad. "Se trata de una violación de la ética del periódico, que requiere que sus periodistas se identifiquen ante el público", asegura el diario en su página web.Así lo afirman los editores textualmente en el Blog: “The Times has suspended Michael Hiltzik’s Golden State blog on latimes.com. Hiltzik admitted Thursday that he posted items on the paper’s website, and on other websites, under names other than his own. That is a violation of The Times ethics guidelines, which requires editors and reporters to identify themselves when dealing with the public. The policy applies to both the print and online editions of the newspaper. The Times is investigating the postings”.

The Times said it is investigating the matter. Editor Dean Baquet declined comment, and Hiltzik said he could not comment”.
