With a few more weeks to work on it, a triple byline of L.A. Times writers follows up today with a fuller but no more scandalous profile of Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter and his various brushes with (and suck ups to) Hollywood. The story includes news that a 16-page code of conduct was recently distributed to Vanity Fair and other Conde Nast staffers, urging them to avoid conflicts of interest "or appearances of such in editorial and business conduct." The company denied the timing has anything to do with recent LAT and New York Times stories about Carter receiving payments from the Hollywood companies and figures he touts in the magazine.
