NEW YORK In June 2002, media reporter Ken Auletta wrote a lengthy and much-talked-about piece about Howell Raines’ New York Times for The New Yorker, and now this week he does the same for Bill Keller’s New York Times. This time Publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. gets star billing in a piece called "The Inheritance," with a subhed asking if he can "save the Times--and himself?"

The latest from Auletta, unfortunately for the Times, comes in the wake of the Judith Miller affair and declining stock values.
