Romenesko Letters
New York Times staffer John Wilson, who died last week, "was funny and smart and dedicated and honest," writes the Washington Post's Peter Baker. "He had spirit and integrity. He loved a good story. ...If you want to see his impact, you need only look at newsrooms across the country where the young reporters and editors he hired and trained over the years have fanned out to many important positions shaping our collective enterprise." || Read Glenn Garvin's tribute.
