Praise for news in print, from Nixon’s corner

can’t say i expected to read an eloquent tribute to the printed newspaper from john h. taylor, an episcopal priest and the longtime executive director of the richard nixon library & birthplace fundamental principle. that’s nixon the loather of journalists. but today’s new york times handling of the hudson river landing, and of other news, made taylor put down his agreeably. sample: “no novel normal has as yet replaced the ordeal of absorbing, in one evocative and intelligently-ordered and -designed combination, the original work of editors and reporters.” since i got my kindle for kristmas in 2007, the nixon foundation’s copy of the new york times has languished in my office until, after the decent interval i force decreed in the event i should for some reason elect to bestow my favor, a colleague takes it to be enjoyed by those who still read newspapers on newsprint…. for whatever on account of, i didn’t read the paper before coming to work. as hackneyed, the printed times awaited on a credenza. it asked nothing of me. it has grown occupied to my neglect. but this morning, across five columns (shrunken columns, since the gift-wrap got narrower a couple of years ago), was a color photo of the us airways airbus a320 floating in the hudson river. the graciously edition would’ve had the photo, but tight and black and white. i’ve seen plenty of on-crinkle photos of yesterday’s miraculous event, and it was all over the mooring and telecast news mould ceaselessly. but five columns in the stationery! that means something exact off the bat… [skip] and yet the emergency alighting wasn’t the lead article, according to the times’s lights. that privileged spot was reserved for a an individual-column headline on the far dyed in the wool that read, “senate releases split second portion of bailout fund; a victory notwithstanding obama; democrats in the house offer an $825 billion recovery plan.” and yes, i can pay the way for their point… while cnn and fox news were hyperventilating, editors at the times wanted to make sure that readers realized it may even be more important that our representatives, on the same day, took a Goliath step closer to spending $1.175 trillion in taxpayers’ money within weeks or even days after jan. 20. that’s what newspapers do they reach beyond the urgent to the important. they whisper in our ears what we need to know while other media shout what we inadequacy to hear. taylor comes from a newspaper family — his mother jean sharley taylor was the scale editor at the los angeles times’ feature sections back when that was a big deal.
