Tuesday, April 3, 2007 Frustrated WSJ Reporters Learn to Be Sly Since American Funds is famous for not doing interviews with the press, The Wall Street Journal interviewed themselves instead. The Los Angeles-based firm prefers to put the financial advisors who sell it's funds front and center, and has long believed that it is stepping in front of the advisors if it gives interviews to the press.
