In brief
Rebecca Blumenstein is a reporter’s executive — the kind who still sounds like the desk. At the Times she sat high in a newsroom that sets the country’s agenda.
NBC hired that judgment. She also keeps a hand on the Columbia Journalism Review, which is a way of saying the craft still needs a critic with a key to the building.
