David Carr: ‘What I don’t look at is the web’
Some quotes from New York Times media writer David Carr’s interview with The Verge:
- “I just think that people seem less and less concerned about where their information comes from at a time when I think they should be more and more concerned about it.”

- “If there are people in my feed who are constantly tweeting out bullshit or self-promotion or promoting what their kids do, then I don’t really care what they think. So I try to keep my feed down to people who sort of know what’s going on. It’s not like I don’t look at RSS still. But what I don’t look at is the web. The web has kind of gone away for me.”
- Regarding NYTimes.com cutting monthly number of free articles to 10 from 20: “I’m not super excited about it, because as I writer I’m always going to be arguing in favor of the greatest available visibility into the ecosystem of news and information. I would have rather had them move on price as opposed to frequency.”
- “WikiLeaks was a new kind of whistle, but I think looking back the historic figure to emerge from all that will be the guy sitting deep inside a federal prison: Bradley Manning.”
