I suppose you can choose to believe that the New York Times is a slow-moving dinosaur, destined to go extinct and be replaced by the hot-blooded Gawkers and Voxes and BuzzFeeds of the world. But I don’t know — a world in which the Times is struggling to survive does not sound like the golden age of journalism to me.

We do not live in a “Golden Age” of journalism. (via salon)

Holding up the New York Times to be the gold standard of journalism when it’s doing things like this and this and this is actually kind of revolting. Maybe it’s time to stop blaming these emerging media outlets that are pushing the old standard to adapt and expand and start taking a good, long look in the mirror.
