NYT axing its public editor job is a mistake. When done well—see: @sulliview—PE makes the paper better/public wiser.

Adding: NYT is killing off its public editor not even a year from its gross mishandling of 2016 election coverage & the Clinton email story.
Recall: Like NYT plans to do, WaPo replaced its ombud with a "reader's representative." He/the role was worthless. https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2014/01/08/exclusive-washington-post-reader-representative/197483 …pic.twitter.com/0z5UzTnpyx
