They Could Have Just Identified The Xerox Machine As An Anonymous Source
Media Bistro’s Fishbowl LA pointed us to this article in the New York Times about the LA Times editorial page changes (got that?):
Michael Kinsley shook up the editorial staff of The Los Angeles Times recently, transferring four of his eleven writers, letting one go, and outsourcing some editorials to freelancers.
But many on the newspaper’s staff knew what was coming because Mr. Kinsley, who was hired to oversee the newspaper’s editorial and opinion pages last spring, accidentally left a Power Point document describing his plans on a Xerox machine in their office in early May.
and they comment
First of all, oops. Second, note that the New York Times just scooped the Los Angeles Times on a story about a Xerox machine located in the LA Times offices.
On the positive side, it sounds from the NYT article that big changes are afoot on the LAT editorial pages. And that can’t be a bad thing.
