00:38The Times was really where I wanted to work from when I was very young. I always had this idea
00:43of the place where great things happen and we're done.
00:46My sources are starting to come out.
00:48I don't know why anybody who's a reporter isn't on Twitter.
00:51You see him at his desk and he just embodies everything about new media.
00:55I still can't get over the feeling that Brian Stelter was a robot assembled to destroy me.
01:02The old newspaper model is dying.
01:05This is a collision of two worlds and this new world that just kind of wants to crack it all
01:09open.
01:09So this is about WikiLeaks, which is a website. They didn't have to drop this off on the front step
01:13of NBC News or the New York Times.
01:15They just dropped it off on YouTube and waited for everybody else to find it.
01:18The bottom line is, you know, WikiLeaks doesn't need us.
01:21In the immediate moment, we're in the middle of cutting a hundred people out of a staff.
01:25I'm scared of you right now.
01:26I've been a single parent on welfare.
01:28This is nasty.
01:30I almost feel like I don't have a clear grasp on the enormity of the situation.
01:35Could the New York Times, like, go out of business?
01:40If you think of the history of these institutions, Watergate, Abu Ghraib, I think we're at a dangerous moment in
01:47American journalism.
01:49Some stories are beyond the database.
01:53Sometimes people have to walk past the conventional wisdom.
01:57They asked if anybody wanted to volunteer for Baghdad, so...
02:00I'm going to Iraq.
02:03News is not time.
02:05The Times still, I think to a remarkable degree, does set the agenda.
02:10The New York Times has dozens of bureaus all over the world.
02:13And we're going to toss that out and kick back and see what Facebook turns out.
02:18I don't think so.
