Okrent started his job at the Times in the midst of “widespread skepticism” in the newsroom about the necessity of a public editor, said Adam Nagourney, a political correspondent for the paper who was a fellow at the Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics this fall. Nagourney—himself a target of a 2004 Okrent column criticizing the Times’ coverage of the Howard Dean campaign—said much of that skepticism evaporated by the end of Okrent’s tenure...
...since October, and the toxicology reports would not have made public any new dramatic details that were not already generally known. Where privacy is not statutorily protected, as it is for sexual abuse victims and juvenile defendants, we firmly believe that decisions of propriety should be made in the newsroom, not by agents of law enforcement.

Seltzer ’05 made stories funnier, wittier, more nuanced...
...didn’t read back over my articles. By the time I became an elected editor, worthy of the Crimson Staff Writer byline, I had already grown slightly sour on the whole experience. I didn’t quite jive with the daily rush of the newsroom, didn’t quite click with the legions of older editors. “Who are these crazy people?” I used to think...
