Bob Cox, bloggers, and the New York Times
Writing on his blog The National Debate, Bob Cox gives a great history of how he got into blogging. After watching New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. attempt to blame the Jayson Blair debacle on the failure of readers to communicate with the Times (!), Bob decided to, well, communicate with the Times. And he found they weren’t too communicative. But through his exploits in the blogosphere, nicely summed up in his post, it seems the NYT and the rest of the MSM is perhaps a bit more responsive to criticism and reader input today than it was a scant few years past.
