“There’s a lot that doesn’t edify me. I love tabloid and celebrity stuff as much as the next American. I’m sitting in the gym and there’s a copy of Us magazine and I love it. I love looking at design porn. A lot of what I read is not really profound; it’s by nature ephemera. But a lot of what we publish is not profound either. Some of it is, I hope. What irritates me about the media is its sheer meta-ness: the constant self-referencing, the small little clique, the small-bore obsession with getting there two seconds before someone else and the sniping among media people talking about media. Some of [New York Times editor] Bill Keller’s critique rings true. Bill is a brilliant guy and a great newspaper editor. His piece sounded a little defensive to me but its overall portrait of the climate was accurate. On the other hand, I’m a hypocrite. I love a scoop. I don’t think you’re a journalist if your heart doesn’t race for news. But I love a real scoop not a two-minute scoop.”
New York Magazine editor-in-chief Adam Moss lays out his media diet. Read more at The Atlantic Wire. (via theatlantic)
