Don't Worry - NYT's Website Redesign Will Make Looking For Non-Existent Environment News Quik-n-Easy

EDIT

(Some readers also noted unhappily that the news of the Green blog’s demise was announced at 5 p.m. on Friday, a convenient time for an inconvenient truth. Mr. Baquet agreed that, in retrospect, “we could have handled that better.”)

As for the complaint that readers with a particular interest in the environment can no longer go to a single online destination, “I acknowledge that criticism,” he said. He said, though, that he hopes that a continuing Web site redesign may make it easier for readers to locate the topics that they are particularly interested in.

Ms. Kenney described the blog’s strengths. “When there was an overriding issue or event, the blog was a locus and a magnet, attracting tens of thousands of readers” to a particular post, she said, “with the Deepwater Horizon spill as a great example.”

She added, “I’d be the first to admit that the blog was uneven because of a shortage of resources.” It needed a dedicated editor, she said; as deputy environment editor, she was able to give it only a few hours a day, given her other duties.
