Ask the NYT editors

In an ongoing series at NYTimes.com, various editors have answered reader questions about their work. The replies are geared towards news consumers, but the editors often discuss the various processes behind the decisions they make — interesting and relevant to any editor with the same title at another outlet. The link takes you to the list of Q&As, organized by order of appearance in the paper. You’ll need to be an NYTimes.com subscriber to read the Q&As, but the subscription is free.
