Catching up on blogging lost in a busy week. . . .
: It would be a damned scandal if The New York Times does not replace Public Editor Barney Calame — and replace him with someone as forceful as Dan Okrent.
: James Lileks on the sale of his paper to private equity lords: “shakeout could be good for the paper, but replacing a few old goats with young cheap labor wouldn’t necessarily change things. You need to change so many things about the profession and the business and the people drawn to it.”
No doubt, Barney will ignore this latest NYT ethical lapse.

Their arrogance is stunning.
