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?
