"Editor & Publisher" entrevista Jayson Blair Com base em perguntas colocadas por leitores, a "Editor & Publisher" publicou ontem uma extensa entrevista com o ex-jornalista do New York Times Jayson Blair, na qual explica algumas das peripécias que conduziram^`a sua saída do jornal e ao conteúdo do livro "Burning Down My Masters' House", há dias lançado nos EUA. Um curto extracto: "Q: Someone wants to know: Would you step into an elevator with Howell Raines? A: Yes. Q: What would you say to him? A: First, that I am sorry. There's no way Howell could have known what I was doing, there is no way Howell was responsible for my actions, and I'd probably wish him well and wish his wife well and his kids well, and apologize. Q: But in your book you say your actions did not cause his exit at the Times? A: There was a certain environment at the Times, a lot of pressure on the paper to change, to become faster-paced, and Howell was leading this charge. And it ruffled a lot of feathers and created an environment that was not comfortable for a lot of people. If that environment did not exist, my actions would not have fermented this into something that would boil this big -- forgive my mixed metaphors!"
