Bill Keller, the New York Times' executive editor, told NPR's Steve Inskeep that, "there's a real shortage of the kind of information that I would call quality journalism."

In a comment about the financial health of the newspaper industry and the rise of blogs, "Good journalism does not come cheap. And, therefore, you're not going to find a lot of blogs or nonprofit Web sites that are going to build a Baghdad bureau."

He also said that the venerated newspaper is, "Competing for audience with different people." Keller went on to say the Times sometimes gets "tarred with the condition of the industry that we're in."
