Doesn't the public have a right to know? The reading public would then be able to judge objectivity of stories these journalists write. This is no different than publishing the names of corporations and individuals that donate to petitions in California. Why didn’t Gannet publish the names of the petition signing journalists?

They are not impartial by any stretch of the imagination –which is why newspapers started failing long before the internet, and why conservative leaning publications do so much better. Look at the stats for FOX News, and the Wall Street Journal. Gannett is tremendously partisan, and they were exposed publicly –otherwise they could care less. They are a poor excuse for journalism just like the vast majority of publications out there. Reuters being near the top of the list.
