Is Mark Thompson the Right Man for the Job? - NYTimes.com

I think the whole matter can be addressed best by a forum in which THOMPSON agrees to answer questions of all kinds from Times employees and customers (readers, online customers, customers of other products and services) about all aspects of this. If he has solid answers for why he shouldn't have known more about this while at the BBC, he can sail confidently into the office at the NYT Co. with his name on it. If not, ...... It's a risk.....worth taking.
