Joey Baker: ‘Mr Keller, I’m calling you to account’
July 13th, 2009Posted by Judith Townend in Editors' pick, Newspapers, Online Journalism
‘You’ve got to be kidding me,’ is how Joey Baker, business director for college newsroom organisation CoPress, and an intern at NewsTrust, opens an open letter to the NY Times executive editor.
“Bill Keller, (…) gave an interview to TIME magazine that showed a total lack of transparency, a fear that journalism itself was under attack, and a disturbing amount of the ‘old media’ mindset. This is a look at what he got wrong, how to fix it.”
Baker reckons he’s killed his chances of ever getting a job at the Times. Jeff Jarvis thinks they should consider hiring him. We don’t know if it’s caught @nytkeller’s attention yet.
