Fwd: Sue Gardner nominated for HuffPost media game-changer of the year

[Samuel Klein-2]

Forwarding from foundation-l.   This is lovely - bold of HuffPost to include
Wikimedia in its wide-angle view of today's media, and appropriate
considering the way WP helps make sense of the chaos of breaking news.

I also love Tina Brown's quote - "I used to be the impatient type. Now I'm
the serene type. Because how can you be impatient when everything happens
right now, instantly?" - she sounds like  a natural Wikipedian...

Right. I wonder whether the ambiguous use of "access" in the write-up
(access to read or to write?) was deliberate.

Certainly. And she could put Roseanne Barr in charge of one of our
issues. No, wait, I seem to have gone too wide-angle in my view here ...
confused now.
