No thought to the fact that there are blogs on NYTimes.com or that the two can co-exist. Regardless of his labored attempts to embrace the Web, he is an old school journalist, wistful for the "good old days" of one-way editorial communication and will never fully get the Web. That's why they need to replace him with someone who truly buys into the Web. But to do that, senior management would have to as well, and they don't. They just pay lip service to it and will never embrace it fully themselves.

Should we infer that the New York Times feels the user-generated content on Wikipedia is more reliable and stable than the edited content on Huffington Post? Where do Times reporters turn for their research? I'm not sure I can handle the truth of the matter. Thank Goodness I don't get my news from the Times (or the HuffPost or Wikiepedia). “While having brunch with an ex-Times employee in January she said to me ‘we weren’t allowed to read the Huffington Post—they say it’s the least reliable source on the Internet.’”
