In a post at Inkless Wells about the virtual round table on Canadian journalism, Macleans' Paul Wells also posted an email from Globe and Mail editor Edward Greenspon about "reimagining" the newspaper.

Here's the CTV.ca story. It contains video of PM PM's and the GG's speeches. In the blogosphere, there were some posts at The Dirt, CalgaryGrit (probably the best one), and Conservative Life (funny Martin picture there). Macleans' Paul Wells took a bit of a shot last night from PM PM. Martin said he did 20 hours' worth of secret interviews with Wells, but Wells "only turned the tape recorder on when he was talking." While Inkless Wells was active this morning, he didn't post on the dinner. Another good shot from Martin was taken at the folks from CanWest, when he said (something pretty close to): "I haven't seen this many people from CanWest in one room since the last Fraser Institute annual meeting."

One of the privileges of being a Globe and Mail subscriber is getting Toro magazine for free. As a result, you get top-quality magazine writing buttressed by razor-sharp editing ... er, most of the time. Take the November 2005 issue. On the cover is Steve Nash. The lede talks about a late-season game between the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Clippers. Uh, which season? The new one's about to start, so I guess they mean 2004-05. But it gets worse. The article refers to Nash being a frontrunner for the NBA's most valuable player award. Newsflash, Toro: HE WON!! Check it out. At this point, I'm wondering if this story was filed in March or April and then left to rot in a drawer or in some folder on a hard drive for months until someone at the mag remembered there would be another basketball season coming up. But one would think the editors would read the piece over and change that which would make it look really, really stale. I didn't read the rest of it because the first three grafs or so were so jarring. Man, big oops.

NYT public editor Byron Calame said while he's heartened by some aspects of the paper's response to the Judith Miller Problem, "the article and Ms. Miller's account also uncovered new information that suggested the journalistic practices of Ms. Miller and Times editors were more flawed than I had feared." more »
