(American) quotation of the day
"I have not read the Blair book and hope I can avoid it" said Ken Auletta to Mark Lewis, the Forbes.com books editor in a recent chat. Ken Auletta is the author of Backstory: Inside the Business of News (Penguin Press, $24.95), a collection of pieces on the subject of American journalism. Most of the articles originally appeared in The New Yorker. 50% of the chat is dedicated to the New York Times editors' strategy.
