"The New York Times can't exist in Hungary, it can't exist in China.
"It can't exist in Russia.
"It exists only in the context of respect for the role of a high quality, nonpartisan press in a thriving and functioning democracy where we're protected by rule of law and where we work directly for our readers, not for any kind of political power or other institution.
"You can't have independent journalism in a non-free society, and we are not impartial about whether or not this [nation] becomes a non-free society."
--Joe Kahn, new exec editor of NYT
