Through most of its history, The Times has been reluctant, unlike The Washington Post, to serve as a veritable Yaddo for a Bob Woodward class of author-reporter. "It goes way beyond [Woodward]," said one Post reporter who recently wrote a book. "I literally tried to count—there are 25 people in the newsroom who are currently writing or going off to write books. The Post is very nurturing of that. They understand it's to its benefit."
"Nobody at The Times will get the deal Woodward has," the senior Times staffer said. Times tradition has put the newspaper above all, encouraging budding authors to get lost—so long, Gay Talese!—or to accept punishingly cheap deals from The Times' house imprint. - ↑ The New York Times (20 March 1991).
