Forbess top editor, Randall Lane, left the company last month after an undisclosed conflict of interest.

フォーブスのトップ編集者ランドール・レーンは、先月明かされていない利益相反のため会社を去った

The New York Times reported that he was dismissed for accepting $6 million from RJ Shook, the founder of Shook Research.

ニューヨーク・タイムズは、彼がシュック・リサーチの創業者RJ・シュックから600万ドルを受け取ったために解雇されたと報じた。

That firm has worked with Forbes since 2016 to publish rankings of financial advisers.

その会社2016年からフォーブスと協力して金融アドバイザーのランキングを発表してきた

The payment came after Shook sold a majority stake in his company to a private equity firm a year ago.

この支払いは、シュックが1年前に自社の過半数の株式プライベートエクイティ会社に売却した後に行われた。

An internal email dated July 23 confirmed Lane no longer worked for Forbes but gave no details.

7月23日付の社内メールは、レーンもうフォーブスで働いていないことを確認したが、詳細は明らかにしなかった

A Forbes spokesperson said the company examined the situation and took appropriate action immediately.

フォーブスの広報担当者は、会社状況を調査しすぐに適切な対応を取った述べた

Staff learned the likely reason for the firing by reading the Times story.

Lane had been Forbess top editor since 2017 and worked there for nearly 16 years.

レーン2017年からフォーブスのトップ編集者を務め、そこで約16年間働いていた。

The Times quoted a person familiar with Lanes thinking as saying he viewed the payment as a gift for advice he had given Shook over the years.

タイムズ紙はレーンの考えを知る人物の話として、彼はその支払いを長年にわたりシュックに与えた助言への贈り物と見なしていたと報じた

In a statement, Lane said he made a mistake and took responsibility.

声明でレーンは自分が間違いを犯したと述べ責任を取った

He said he should have disclosed the gift and that failing to do so was a serious error in judgment.

彼は、その贈り物を開示すべきだったと述べ、それをしなかったことは重大な判断ミスだったと語った。

Forbess editorial standards forbid staff from accepting compensation from people or companies featured in their coverage.

フォーブスの編集基準はスタッフが取材対象となる人物や企業から報酬を受け取ることを禁じている

The Times report comes as public trust in media is low, with 57% of Americans saying they have little confidence in journalists.

タイムズの報道はメディアへの信頼が低い中で出されたアメリカ人の57%がジャーナリストへの信頼がほとんどないと答えている

Lane had written a 2024 column titledHow Forbes Delivers Journalism You Can Trust.”

レーンは2024年に「フォーブスがいかに信頼できるジャーナリズムを提供するかというコラムを書いていた
