First, The Wall Street Journal confronted The New York Times.
So today Sulzberger launched his first main assault to Murdoch in his own British market.
With Tabloid Hack Attack on Royals, and Beyond, a 6,00- word story written by Don Van Natta Jr., Jo Becker and Graham Bowley, three big guns of The New York Times, Sulzberger tries to destroy the reputation (?) not of the News of the World, the Sunday gossip tabloid of News Corporation, but the reputation of Rupert Murdoch as owner of this popular paper.
The war is here.
My only question is this:
Why British newspapers, magazines, radio, television, blogs… didn’t cover the story in such a powerful way?
The New York Times is again the “solo” paper producing first class real investigative reporting.
A lesson hard to learn by other more complacent rivals.
