Sadly (but not surprisingly), the Duke Chronicle has done a better job than Times public editor Byron Calame of explaining what went wrong with the NYT’s coverage of the case. Like most of his Calame’s work, his criticisms are narrow, guarded, and often pedantic. How long until this guy retires again?

(See Slate’s Jack Shafer here and here for more on Calame’s lameness.)

Update 4/25 8:19 AM: The Chronicle has printed an article on problems with coverage of the case in the Durham Herald-Sun.
