On June 23, New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller wrote a memo entitled “Assuring Our Credibility” (hat tip: http://queuevee.blogspot.com). Keller said the “Gray Lady” cannot “remain aloof and impervious in the face of criticism.” Acknowledging the paper’s perceived lack not of racial diversity but of ideological diversity, Keller noted that “we will make an extra effort to focus on diversity of religious upbringing and military experience, of region and class.” Finally, he said, “It calls for a concerted effort by all of us to stretch beyond our predominantly urban, culturally liberal orientation, to cover the full range of our national conversation.”
Good thoughts. We’ll be watching.
