Advice for the New York Times's New Public Editor
The Huffington Post
by Daniel R. Schwarz
On July 16, the New York Times announced that its fifth public editor would be Margaret M. Sullivan, "the first woman to hold this position."
...With the appointment of Ms. Sullivan, this is a good time to review what the public editor position has accomplished and where it has failed.
...By consulting outside financial experts, the public editor must, when necessary, shine an informed light on the Times's financial relationship with both Mexican magnate Carlos Slim and with the Forest City Ratner real estate company, which now owns the entire new Times building and leases the Times's floors back to it.
