NYT Clarifies Editorial Cartooning’s Role At Paper

This piece seems of interest both in terms of the reality of the Times working with editorial cartoons and the history of the Times dancing around whether or not to have any cartoons, period. A reader asked the public editor about the paper dropping its page of syndicated cartoons. Andrew Rosenthal makes clear they're happy moving forward with Patrick Chappatte and Brian McFadden, dropping the syndicated work because of its availability elsewhere.

It does seem more in line with the Times' commitment to exclusive content to arrange their site that way, but it's nice to have it on the record. Nearly every well-regarded cartoonist ensconced at a paper has a public, on-line profile -- you can debate who has benefited most in this day and age. This strategy seems slightly different.
