Talk to the (NY Times) Newsroom: unanswered questions about Atlantic Yards coverage
Atlantic Yards Report writes to the NY Times Metro Editor during "Talk to the Newsroom" week, and receives no response.
Mr. Sexton,In a previous "Talk to the Newsroom" feature, in March 2007, you wrote, "Pick any major topic of the last several years in New York... The paper's coverage has been unmatched."
I'd strongly disagree with that regarding Atlantic Yards. In fact, I'd argue, the Times has a special obligation to be exacting in its coverage, given the parent company's business relationship with Atlantic Yards developer Forest City Ratner, as partners on the Times Tower. (I wrote about that in a September 2005 report critiquing the Times, linked from my web site, and have continued my media criticism as part of my Atlantic Yards Report watchdog blog.)
