Two further observations about the L.A. Times

  1. In Sunday’s Times, Scott Timberg offers this piece about three youngish men with the audacity to launch print journals. Timberg is a good writer and someone with an eye for important details. Which to me confirms that it was a copy editor who captioned a photo of Keith Gessen on the jump page as “Keith Gesson.” The first rule of journalism: Get people’s names right.
  2. Evidently, at least part of the LA Times website is on Eastern time. I say that because every night sometime after 9 PM I’m able to play the next day’s crossword puzzle. If your own website operates in a different time zone, I don’t think you’re building a strong case that your paper is that important. Sorry.

    Did you mean the 5th to last word to be “isn’t”? Not meaning to criticize, just some friendly proofreading. I assume you can correct it, if you choose.

    No. It’s correct as it is: I DON’T think you’re building a strong case that your paper IS that important.
