Last week we retroactively put disclaimers in a series of articles in our archive to clarify potential conflicts of interest. The disclaimers were made where the financial interest was significant or where there was dealing within one month either side of the article being written. In total, 53 articles have been refiled. Of these, 33 were published by Reuters before the acquisition of Breakingviews by Thomson Reuters in Dec. 2009; a further 20 were published by both Reuters and Breakingviews after the acquisition.
