NYT’s Jill Abramson takes readers’ questions
A few things that New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson tells readers in her Q-and-A:
Jill Abramson
– “I don’t think anyone mistakes our content as ‘infotainment.’ Our standards of quality journalism are the same from hard news to features to blogs.”
– “Our goal is not to become an online TV station, but to create video that enables our readers and audience to ‘watch The Times’ as well as ‘read The Times.’”
– “We never feature graphic images gratuitously, and we certainly don’t censor pictures to avoid conveying the news.”
– Public editor Margaret Sullivan “brings fresh energy to the job because of her comfort and experience with blogging and other digital forms.”
