Romenesko

Romenesko Letters
Leonard Downie Jr. writes that Chris Daly made "an outrageous personal attack on a fine young journalist, and I'm disappointed that it has been given circulation on Romenesko." The Washington Post editor notes that his paper "has now and has had in the past many outstanding journalists like Perry [Bacon Jr.] who successfully take on great responsibility here at a similar age." Downie adds: "Daly, however, during his time as a contract stringer for this newspaper, failed to earn a similar role for himself. And now, he says, he depends on Google for his shoddy reporting. Daly owes Perry Bacon an apology and Romenesko needs to be more discriminating." || Related letter from NYT's Adam Nagourney.
