New York Times creates political desk to gear up for 2012 - The Cutline
Like television and cable news networks, newspapers have begun to staff up for the 2012 election.
The New York Times announced on Monday that it’s creating a designated political desk.
“Page One: Inside the New York Times” (C-SPAN’s Q&A)
Andrew Rossi, director and producer of a new documentary called “Page One: Inside the New York Times.” The documentary takes a look at the declining newspaper industry in general and also looks specifically at the New York Times through the eyes of the staff that covers the media. It features reporters David Carr and Brian Stelter. It includes discussions over Wikileaks as well as the aftermath of the 2009 decision to cut 100 jobs from the New York Times newsroom. Andrew Rossi’s previous documentary was the story of a New York City restaurant family called “Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven.” It was shown on HBO.

“Actually,” Trump writes, “I have great respect for Ms. [Gail] Collins in that she has survived so long with so little talent. Her storytelling ability and word usage (coming from me, who has written many bestsellers), is not at a very high level.”
“New York Times reporter Andrew Goldman: I look at your writers much less than I find myself clicking on stuff that’s been aggregated or the more salacious, boob-related posts.
Arianna Huffington: That’s really a shame. I think you’re missing out.”
As it turns out, all @freeNYTimes had to do was ditch the New York Times logo
Keep on dodgin’ that paywall: @freeNYTimes is not in trouble with The New York Times anymore. All they had to do was get rid of the NYT logo.
