John Koblin of the New York Observer notes that New York Times online editor Jon Landman dissed The Wall Street Journal‘s online news production in an e-mail memo to his staff.
Landman’s memo stated, “There’s some financial newspaper out there, on Wall Street or maybe in midtown, we aren’t sure. There’s new ownership, it seems, some rich guy who says he wants his paper to be more like ours. So we challenged him to compete head to head with our Thanksgiving Day Topics Page. That was seven months ago. So far, nothing.
“They must be busy covering the bad economy. Hard to do both, we suppose. We sympathize, yet at the same time we don’t see why a snappy Web site can’t do turkeys and dismal science. Especially one with all those imaginative uses of multimedia, topics pages, blogs, reader comments and other fresh and exciting things.”
