THE average weekday New York Times contains nearly 130,000 words of news, information and opinion distilled from millions cascading in from throughout the world. The newspaper employs layers of editors and multiple policies and procedures to make sure that every one of those words is as accurate as anyone can determine in the daily rush of history. But, with all the safeguards, bad things still happen. Last month, because reporters and editors in three different parts of the paper did not take enough pains to verify information, The Times reported as fact a political telephone call that didn't happen, fell victim to a faked letter to the editor, and published a sensational anecdote about a college football recruiting battle that the paper cannot be confident is true.

The sense of adventure that saw The New York Sun sally forth in 2002 as a fresh voice in the troubled newspaper industry was met by success in garnering thoughtful, devoted readers. Some of them even wrote personal checks in the attempt to keep the paper alive. But it was not to be. The handsome, newsy broadsheet reported its demise on its front page on Tuesday after six-and-a-half years. The loss of a lively newspaper is always lamentable, and particularly so as readers search their way through the uncertain transition toward Internet-based journalism. ''In the end, we were out not only of money but time,'' Seth Lipsky, the paper's editor, told the newsroom of his efforts to find 11th-hour financial renewal amid the dismal climate of Wall Street. Mr. Lipsky, a respected newspaper veteran, resurrected the name and logo of The Sun after 52 years in mothballs to offer news from an analytical, unabashedly conservative perspective.

For decades, successful newspaper reporters and editors have looked forward to university fellowships as a chance to take a mid-career sabbatical and recharge their batteries. But the crop of fellows set to enter this year's most prestigious programs, whose names are just now being announced, shows how much that pattern is changing. These days, struggling papers are less likely to allow their journalists the time off, for one thing. The pool they employ is drastically smaller, and those who have lasted to midcareer tend to be less worried about recharging their batteries than keeping their jobs. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

When The Philadelphia Inquirer hired as its new opinion columnist, John C. Yoo, an author of the Bush administration's widely criticized legal memos on harsh interrogation techniques, it was probably inevitable that the decision would draw complaints. The surprise was that it took months to provoke much reaction, in part because it took that long for readers to realize that Mr. Yoo, a Philadelphia native, was not an occasional contributor, as he had been for years, but a regular monthly fixture at the paper. The Inquirer hired him last fall for a year, but did not make a splashy public announcement, as it did in 2007, with former Senator Rick Santorum, who writes every two weeks.

The "New York Times," publication recognizes an ethical responsibility to correct all its factual errors., large and small, promptly and in a prominent reserved space in the paper. But on the page where the Time's seven opinion editorial columnists roam, there has been long no rule at all, or at least not one clearly elucidated and publicly promulgated. In fact, columnists attract a crowd radically unlike the audience that sticks to the new pages. A belief or a conviction, no matter how illogical is an idea subject to vigorous dispute but is not an assertion subject to editorial or legal correction.
