The decision to hold [the story] never even got to me. It was made for good journalistic reasons.

Today's decision means everyone loses. The Times has lost this case and will now undertake the difficult and sad process of removing significant portions from its electronic historical archive.

We are grateful to Judy for her significant personal sacrifice to defend an important journalistic principle. I respect her decision to retire from The Times and wish her well.

I don't think leadership demands 'yes' or 'no' answers; I think leadership is providing the forum for making the right decision, which doesn't demand unanimity.

Maybe a deal was possible earlier. And maybe, in retrospect, looking back, you could say this was a moment you could have jumped on. If so, shame on us. I tend to think not.

We are trying to make a product, a news experience, that more fully engages our readers, that allows them to want to spend more time with us.
