Subject: i need you to call me
To: Joe Coscarelli
office: 212-475-1900. we have the opportunity to do something very exciting.And so this thing started. Tony came over to my desk, asked me if I had anything, and that was the first thing I did when he walked away. More on that in a second.
Why gossip? Because it was interesting to us, we were writing what we know, and we felt like we could
(A) Get it correct,
(B) Do a story that would satisfy people who were already familiar with the topic as well as — and more importantly — reach a wider audience with a topic that’s often in their periphery without much thought to it otherwise while
(C) Making it pretty entertaining, too. You can’t do a story about gossip without a little gossip in it. I mean, you could, but it wouldn’t be as much fun as this.(via youngmanhattanite)
This is one of the best things I’ve read, about a subject that I (until now) knew little about. It’s a lotta text, but don’t be discouraged; it’s worth it.
Oh come on, it’s not that long! So I went to lunch and came back and now this SAME picture shows up about every 5 posts on my dashboard. And for good reason. Thought I’d continue the train. Just in case any of my (full disclusure) 108 (haha) followers don’t follow YM, nwswk, Mark, Rubenfeld, and so and and so forth (hi mom).
