Diversity

• July 31 -- Will ‘Siegal’ Soothe
Times Egos?
The Times releases the Siegal Report, an account of its failures in the wake
of the Jayson Blair and Rick Bragg controversies. It includes a note from panel
member and far-left activist Roger Wilkins, defending the paper’s “aggressive”
diversity quest and bashing America: “The Times newsroom is an American place
and is thus touched--as are virtually all American places--by our culture,
including some remnants of hostility to minorities and women.”
• May 14 --
Howell Raines’ Theatre of the Absurd
Times staffers will pack a Manhattan movie house today for the latest
installment of the “Blair Watch Project”—top management will take questions from
seething Times news staff. Do journalists now see that the media’s diversity
quest is damaging reporters’ reputations?
