This is slightly old news, especially considering the launch of Local Leaks, but I wanted to make note of it here anyway:

Executive editor Bill Keller told The Cutline that he couldn’t go into details, “especially since nothing is nailed down.” But when asked if he could envision a system like Al Jazeera’s Transparency Unit, Keller said the paper has been “looking at something along those lines.”
