The New York Times has issued a letter to The Atlantic‘s editor in response to Michael Hirschorn’s controversial The-Times-May-Stop-Printing-by-May article. It begins, “Your article ‘End Times,’ which speculates on whether The New York Times can survive the death of journalism, leaves a lot to be desired from the standpoint of . . . well, journalism.”
And it goes on from there.
Read the rest of the letter on Poynter’s forum.
