The Editor's Blog

Do you wonder why the newspaper did what it did, or didn't do what it didn't do? The editor's blog is where Daily News Executive Editor Patrick Dougherty answers your questions, responds to your complaints and generally explains the behavior of the Daily News. It's also where we post news about the paper and our company. Do you think we missed or mishandled important news, misused a photo or put the wrong headline on a story? Did you like something you found in the paper? Do you have problems with the website? Send questions to me at editorsblog@adn.com or post your comments online. I only ask that you be clear, concise and civil, to me and to your fellow commenters.

Earlier this morning Nat Hentoff, a columnist recently laid off from The Village Voice in New York, was interviewed by National Pubic Radio. He commented that he was stunned to find out that McClatchy had closed its Washington bureau. That's hard to understand because it's completely untrue. McClatchy bureau chief John Walcott called NPR and asked for a correction. We don't know why Nat said it or NPR put it on the air.

NPR correction posted here:
