Amidst the fallout from the Judith Miller crack-up, falling circulation, and deteriorating credibility stemming from its transparent and uncompromising Bush-hatred, the NYT has discovered it has a serious crisis on its hands — too little diversity (h/t Glenn):
After a 10-month study, the New York Times Diversity Council issued its confidential internal report yesterday. The 39-page document, made available to staffers, describes The Times as “a newspaper at risk” on diversity matters and says the paper is “losing ground in comparison to business that are among the leaders in diversity.”
I would be more concerned about losing ground in comparison to other forms of media, and in terms of public trust, but — full disclosure — I haven’t read all 39 pages of this report. Maybe a lack of diversity really is the NYT’s biggest problem.
Skin-color diversity, that is. Conservatives need not apply.
