If Abelson has ties to JSTOR and/or JSTOR involved personnel, his should disclose these as part of his reporting.
I was initially pleased with his choice, then subsequently surprised to learn of these ostensible ties in a sentence or two within some reporting or commentary that I don't have at hand, at the moment.
(So... if such ties don't exist, I am fully open to being corrected on this point. But, my recollection is fairly strong, if not specific -- in part due to the reinforcing nature of my surprise.)
P.S. I'll have a look for that bit of reporting that caught my attention, when I have a chance...

The closest I've found is the text at the end (quoted) of this Slashdot summary: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/01/22/0219224/mit-warned-of-a-jstor-death-sentence-due-to-swartz http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/01/22/0219224/mit-warned-of... theodp continues " MIT's Wolpert, who was recently named to an advisory board for JSTOR parent Ithaka, also chairs the Management Board of the MIT Press, where her reports from 2008-2010 included JSTOR Managing Director Laura Brown and MIT's Hal Abelson, adding another twist to Abelson's analysis of MIT's involvement in the Swartz tragedy."
