THE COLUMBIA JOURNALISM REVIEW gives the student-run Columbia Spectator higher marks for journalistic integrity than it gives the New York Times:
The fact that some at the Times decided to subvert their own reporting by agreeing to ignore one side of a debate is disturbing, if not wholly insulting, to the paper’s readership. And given that in this case, student journalists on a campus newspaper upheld a higher standard of journalistic integrity than the “paper of record,” the Times is right to be embarrassed.
Indeed. (Via Howard Kurtz).
