      I guess they have a very jaundiced view of the times, such that stuff that’s completely within their normal realm of debate can, with the right framing, be presented as beyond the pale. I’m curious what stuff (I imagine it has to do with either feminism or IQ) they think it is

      Continuing on this point, my impression is that journalism is in some ways a remarkably rarefied and idiosyncratic culture. When attempting to exert external force on a social space, it's best to have an understanding of its internal dynamics. (protip for @CadeMetz)

          referring earlier to comments re: internal journo comms, I think there is actually significance to these public statements by journalists for forming consensus around standards of practice consider the effect in your own circles of prominent figures taking such stances openly

          these public statements are not cheap signals, either @robertwrighter and @kausmickey were uneasy about shitting on the Sulzberger family in a @bloggingheads episode a week or two back because of the social/career implications such stances are potentially costly.
