Some recent Times-related writing of note from other publications:
In Ha'aretz, Noah Efron has a strong rebuttal to a ridiculous New York Times op-ed that ran under the headline "How Israel Silences Dissent."
In Salon, Daisy Hernandez has a first-person account of her experiences as an intern at the New York Times editorial page and on its metropolitan desk.
At Medium, Felix Salmon has a piece headlined "Annals of NYT Innumeracy, Bank Rossiya Edition."
