    Foster -- why can't you charge people for information (gathering it, assessing it, presenting it)? Am I missing something here? #peterkaplan

    @Bunsy: Sure, you can. But if the person being charged is me - who can take it, repurpose it in my own language, and make it more profitable (the cost of paying for the NYT vs. the cost of reporting the NYT) - the value of the information drops dramatically, as quickly as I can make it my own. And I just don't think you can't protect the value of something like a huge scoop to justify what it costs to get it anymore. You've got to offer something else.

    @Bunsy: Because eventually the information makes its way into the public space. In other words, if information has any value at all, that value pretty much disappears the instant it hits the air. The pay wall only works if you can control, in a very narrow way, the limits of the medium (in this case the internet). #peterkaplan

    I kind of love the quote about how it takes a single day to decipher whether a reporter is worth his or her weight. That really speaks to an intuitiveness amongst quality journalists, something that perhaps cannot be taught at school but merely refined (or alternately, stunted) by grooming.

    And Tina Brown is a lot [many things-er] than all of us, but that does not make her in any way something we should continue thinking about. #peterkaplan

    @ampersandparade: True, on both points. But Tina Brown's going to be someone we're going to have to keep thinking about. The question remains: when (or if) Diller will tighten the purse-strings on her operation. #peterkaplan

    This is just really good. Can I say "good job" without trying to be funny


    That being said, after just reading The Night of the Gun, I saw the headline and was worried he was back on the pipe. So this was both a relief and an incredible pleasure.

    This is how I imagine it must feel just before the end of a war. (Not to trivialize real war, of course.) Despite my firm belief in the prospects of the new regime, the thought of the old regime's impending death is unsettling.

    Priceless. Rup schools spoiled brat publisher on how to up his neo-con game, on how to be more of a team player in splashy disinfo tactics.


    Can't let some esteemed editor get in the way of that program. Does the ink-stained wretch live large on yachts and work closely with right-wing political operatives and heads of state? Later for his ass.


    Reminds me of when Kush pushed out another staffer for mild criticism of hard-line Israeli polices.


    And so the cycle of scum rolls on...
