    NEW: NYT columnist David Brooks draws a second salary for leading an Aspen Institute project funded by Facebook, Jeff Bezos' dad, & others. He didn't disclose this to readers. The Times refused to say if the paper was aware of Brooks' second salary:https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/craigsilverman/david-brooks-nyt-weave-facebook-bezos …

        Facebook gave $250,000 in 2018 to help fund Weave, Brooks' project at the Institute. A few months later Brooks began promoting Weave in the Times. He never disclosed the FB money, his salary, or other funders. Weave received just over 1.5 million in 2018, the latest $$ available.

        Along with columns about Weave, Brooks published Times columns that mention Facebook, its founder Mark Zuckerberg, and the company’s products without disclosing his financial ties to the social networking giant.

        “We're in the process of reviewing David's relationship with the Weave Project and the Aspen Institute, and what disclosures, if any, should be added to David's columns going forward,” said Eileen Murphy, the SVP of corporate communications for the Times.

        A strange thing we found is that in 2019 Brooks wrote *sponsored content* for an event that he appeared at that year. Who did he share the stage with? A Facebook employee. This came at a time when Weave was funded by the social media giant:https://www.philanthropy.com/paid-content/upswell/weaving-together-the-lessons-of-movement-building …

        ICYMI last week we revealed that Brooks wrote a blog post for FB's corporate site that gave a a very positive view of FB Groups.https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/craigsilverman/nyt-david-brooks-blogs-for-facebook …
