New York Times writer trashes National Stationery Show
One would have thought that the New York Times would have had the good sense to say something positive about the National Stationery Show, but clearly it looks like they are short-staffed and had to assign a rookie reporter from the crime beat to cover the show. In a bizarre and senseless piece of “reporting” that seems to have been crafted in an Irish pub, NYT reporter Corey Kilgannon focused on the case of the purloined letter and the scatological humor of one award recipient as the defining moments of his Javits Center experience.
Perhaps Kilgannon is trying his hand (I assume Corey is a male) at blogging rather than journalism since his days at the New York Times are probably numbered if this is the best he can do. It is no wonder that NYT’s readership is declining with Kilgannon missing everything that it is relevant to focus on sensationalist tidbits that may appeal to his small base of followers on Twitter. If this is all the news the New York Times sees “fit to print” then the editor has obviously had a bad hair day. Pitiful and sad.
