> [The innovation report was leaked to BuzzFeed] The BuzzFeed leak was devastating for Sulzberger—“a moment of panic,” he says. “We had written a pretty frank and candid document expressly for a small group of leaders... it felt like our dirty laundry was being aired.” ...he realized within a few days that the public scrutiny had turned an administrative white paper into a media rallying cry.
They never would have gotten the change they need without the leak! It's like WH staffers leaking to Fox to get the president's attention.
When I read the NYT online I feel like they still can't decide whether to stick with the legacy structure (most articles can't be commented on, still the newspapery structure) or go 100% the other way (the big, technically-complex, unreadable "snow" piece). The Economist has the same problem.
