A Peek Under The Gray Lady’s Skirt

This looks like a juicy examination of the tensions and fears in old media that have sent the New York Times scurrying behind a new tiered paywall system. The Times site is a daily visit for me, usually in search of communion with A-list film critics Manohla Dargis and A.O. Scott, so I’ll be quite content to stick to a diet of 20 articles per month. While my two favourite contributors don’t seem to be key players in the doc, the trailer would have us believe that the original Carpetbagger blogger David Carr will be doing his best Grace Coddington. The guy’s an indelible character. A brand name journalist.
