NYT’s Elizabeth Holmes Profile Caused Drama in the Newsroom
- cocacola1 3y ago> “why would the PR firm call the journalist who hasn’t had a byline in three years”? That kind of answers itself, doesn't it? They're an NYT reporter and haven't had a byline in three years. They're probably not gonna approach John Carreyrou – also at the Times – or someone who already has a good thing going and doesn't need to publish a puff piece.
- prepend 3y agoIt makes total sense why Amy Chozick, if she’s a struggling and desperate journalist would accept a PR-planted softball story. Holmes probably farmed it to others first who turned it down. What’s strange is why the NYT would run it and why they wouldn’t edit to correct such a bad story. A single journalist needs money and fame. How much money did the NYT accept to run this blargh?
