Buzzfeed
has obtained and published almost the entire internal "Innovation" report at the NYT much in the news due to its possible role in quick dismissal of Jill Abramson. (
Times spokesman claims it played no role.) Only five pages missing. Follow link for the report, summary and
NYT response. One excerpt from Buzzfeed wrap:
The first person quoted in the report, ironically, is Janine Gibson, the Guardian
editor who Abramson reportedly approached about a top newsroom job,
angering Sulzberger and the deputy who he would make her successor, Dean
Baquet.
The report also calls for a profound rethinking of the newsroom’s
independence from the rest of the company, in order to involve editorial
leaders more deeply in technological decisions.
“The very first step … should be a deliberate push to abandon our
current metaphors of choice — ‘The Wall’ and ‘Church and State’ — which
project an enduring need for division. Increased collaboration, done
right, does not present any threat to our values of journalistic
independence,” the report says.
