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.
