Talk to the newsroom: Bill Keller

Bill Keller, editor ejecutivo del New York Times, responde a las preguntas de los lectores en la serie Talk to the Newsroom. Entre muchas otras cosas, Keller reafirma el dogma de los editores en EEUU de no involucrarse en el lado de negocios de la empresa peridística. Pero, ante la crisis actual, ¿cuán inteligente es que los principales editores se distancien de las decisiones que harán que la empresa sobreviva o muera?
Dice:
"Editors, as you know, are responsible for the contents of The Times, not its business model. This is the only business I can think of where the people who make the product have traditionally been kept apart from the people who sell the product, to protect journalists from the undue influence of advertisers."
