The Times' top editors resign in the continuing aftermath of Jayson Blair
This is unusual to see these days. Someone actually taking responsibility for their f**k-up and resigning! Will this put the Jayson Blair debacle to rest? Not sure but according to this New York Times story:
Howell Raines and Gerald M. Boyd, the top-ranking editors of The New York Times, resigned yesterday morning, five weeks after the resignation of a reporter set off a chain of events that exposed fissures in the management and morale of the newsroom.
In a hastily arranged gathering in the newsroom on the third floor, the newspaper's publisher, Arthur Sulzberger Jr., told staff members that he wanted to "applaud Howell and Gerald for putting the interests of this newspaper, a newspaper we all love, above their own."
