Editor as Pregnant Teenager
LA Times story on Greensboro NC’s News and Record experiment with community outreach through blogging contains a quote from an apparent newspaper reader saying the editor, John Robinson, is “like a pregnant teenager– lame excuse after lame excuse.”
I’m glad that today’s editors are no longer making excuses, but instead exposing themselves to critcism and addressing outrage. Even the letter from Newsweek leader Rick Smith on the qu’uran messup shows, I think, that openness leads this industry (eventually) to self-correction.
