> Newspapers like NYT are one of the few institutions where workers enjoy a level of freedom from management in doing their work.

That is not the case. Every every reporter has an editor he or she must report to. Sure, reporters are given some freedom on the stories they pursue, but it's hardly a hands-off approach.




I believe they are saying there is a separation between the editors and the rest of the Corp. The editors aren’t the ones coming up with the sites privacy policy.


Right; the idea is a separation of the profit-driven part of the organization from the editorial part. This is commonly known as "the wall."


Got it. Thanks for the clarification.
