More Baquet Reaction
Some of the analysis following Dean Baquet‘s move to the NYT D.C. Bureau:
From the New York Observer: “It became clearer and clearer to me that The New York Times was the place where I belonged now.”
From the Chicago Tribune: “What really happened is I decided to take some time off, and looming in the background was the possibility that something would happen with the L.A. Times. But, obviously, nothing is going to happen soon. … Meanwhile, the New York Times came in with this offer, which was irresistible.”
NYT Executive Editor Bill Keller thinks Baquet will be more at home with the NYT: “I admire Dean’s stance tremendously. I think he’ll find the business side at the New York Times much more in tune with his values. . . . What Dean brings to everything he does is infectious enthusiasm and aggressive intelligence.”
