New York Observer has
followed up on Frank Rich's exclusive that the
NY Times was reconsidering its busy social calendar, first mentioned by
Hamilton Nolan.
Executive editor Bill Keller, in an e-mail to The Observer, confirmed that the new policy change could extend far outside the beltway: Events that cater to City Hall and Statehouse reporters in New York—the Inner Circle dinner and Legislative Correspondents’ Dinner—are also on the hit list.
