I've missed this until now but ace blogger and photo expert Michael Shaw
has done a lengthy re-cap and analysis of recent problem at the
Times, when it suddenly pulled a photo essay--about an alleged slavery/girl servant in Haiti--and ran an editors' note. Love the title: "A Story Gone Haywire--Then Simply Gone." It's a little complicated to detail so just go check it out. Shaw raises all sorts of interesting larger questions about photo essays, lack of fact-checking regarding them, and asks whether the
NYT has gone far enough in "correcting."
