… and it ain’t Paul Krugman.

From today’s New York Times cover story:

Media critics have been increasingly concerned about what will happen to investigative journalism with the continued emphasis on cutting costs. This latest NYT story should help sooth some of those fears as it is clear that hiring just one good photographer with an eye for the ladies replaces the need for a room full of grouchy old white guys in the editorial department. Think of it as a win-win (or perhaps Wynn-Wynn).

The only mistake that the Times made was in trying to craft an actual story around the photograph. Futile and unnecessary. Does anyone really read Playboy for the articles? In time the Times will learn this lesson too. The only downside of this shift by the Times is that if they keep posting “stories” like that, who needs us?
