Day two of 6 minutes worth of edited video from the New York Times newsroom, tracking their discussions about what to put in the paper. There are some improvements in the second edition of
TimesCast - somebody's drawn the blinds in the conference room, so the projector screen shows up - but there are no close ups of the screen, so it's not clear what it's for. The conversation at the morning meeting was slightly less stultified than Day One, but until they give us a decent row about lead stories and misses, one suspects everyone knows when the camera is on or off.
On the downside, catching up with editors around lunchtime (hostess Diane Bornemeier is terribly intense) still means there are very few staff in the background in that huge newsroom. And then the rest of the video is journalist talking to journalist. Gripping it ain't.
