New York Times media writer David Carr tweeted on the day his paper ran a piece by the four Times journalists who had been held in Libya for six days:
Maybe in part 2 of captured journo story, @ariannahuf uses a new model of journalism to aggregate them back to safety. j.mp/f15yVO
The tweet then vanished. An explanation is after the jump.
Jeff Jarvis‘ tweet from Monday night
@carr2n: Did you kill a 3/22 tweet @9:45p suggesting @ariannahuff “aggregate [journalists] back to safety”? Is that Times policy?

Carr:
@jeffjarvis yes, reader wrote and said it was a tasteless riff on grim situation. Re-read, agreed, yanked. dunno what “Times policy” is
