That's a jaded and misguided view of the world. Very few reporters will accept articles written by others, and they predominantly work for trade rags, not the New York Times.
- dsplittgerber 15y agoPlease tell me you read that article and didn't find it odd how extremely one-sided and positive it was. Also, it happens all the time. And with a publishing machine as big as the NYT, it's bound to happen there as well. Remember Jayson Blair? Different symptom, same cause.
