New York Times Asserts It Is Indeed Hip Riding the Word Train
January 12, 2009
The New York Times is trapped within a mindset, wrapped in a culture, and under a layer of costs. New York Magazine is doing its part to show how trendy and agile this aging swan really is. You can read “The New Journalism: Goosing the Gray Lady.” The notion of goosing a dowager is an image that makes this addled goose cringe. The folks working on this project will benefit from the experience when they seek another job or chat up a venture capitalist for some dough. For me, the dead tree crowd, including the goosed gray lady, is struggling to find a solution to the journalistic equivalent of Fermat’s last theorem. Trying is good.
