Hard times for the Times

In my latest for The Guardian, I take a look at Mark Bowden’s exceedingly tough Vanity Fair profile of New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. Bowden may be right in arguing that Sulzberger is not up to the job. But given the implosion of the newspaper business, would better leadership have made all that much difference?

   I’d be interested to get your take on this Tines story.

   And, does Miss Robinson deserve any of the blame? Maybe, she, too, is not up to the job even though it is now beginning to look a lot like Mission Impossible.
