Why do we want to watch people sit around a table and discuss what's important? Do they need to tell us? The meeting itself is important for the newspaper but to the rest of us? I think the readers of the NYT are smart enough to realize the significance of some stories.<br /><br />The real meeting lasts around one hour each day yet the condense the meeting to less than 10 minutes. So we really aren't seeing the "real thing." <br /><br />The Times has occasionally let visitors sit in on page-one meetings but we've always been told not to repeat anything that was said in those meetings to sites like Gawker or nowadays, NYTPicker.<br /><br />How much time is the Times spending to produce this thing? Surely there are more news-worthy videos a video editor could be doing. Or better yet use the money pay the video editor to hire a written word reporter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
