"The New York Times‘s coverage of the World Economic Forum’s annual conference in Davos, Switzerland “was — and is, a corrupt circle-jerk,” according to ex-executive editor Jill Abramson.
Abramson wrote to Semafor editor-in-chief Ben Smith to express her view, noting that her predecessor at the Times wanted to ban the Gray Lady’s reporters from attending. Abramson described herself as being allergic to publishing stories about it.
“I noticed (after I was gone), much more ‘news’ coverage in the Times of Davos, quoting the attendees and speakers at those endless panels,” said Abramson. “Of course, the coverage was a sweetener to flatter the CEOs by seeing their names in the NYT so that they would then speak at high-dollar NYT conferences and — of course — get phony news stories from the conferences into the paper.”
