Matt Welch and Nancy Rommelmann hop back into the studio for what (with luck!) will be a weekly Tuesday 40-minute bitch-up about media et al. First up: Dean Baquet stepping down as executive editor at the NYT, the shameful episode with Donald McNeil Jr., and the tug-of-war between journalism's new and old guard and how this might fall out.
