Dow Jones PR forwarded a statement to media today from Thomson, which read in part, “The news column by a Mr David Carr today is yet more evidence that The New York Times is uncomfortable about the rise of an increasingly successful rival while its own circulation and credibility are in retreat…Whether it be in the quest for prizes or in the disparagement of competitors, principle is but a bystander at The New York Times.”
