The NYT copy desk gets clever 11/24/2008
Every now and then, newspaper copywriters get their time in the spotlight. Evidence—   I'm especially fond of the play on "Yes We Can" in the section heading, "If They Can." The other captions and headlines are a little more obvious. I wish the article was as hard-hitting as the copywriting would suggest. That being said, though, it's the first article the Gray Lady has published that takes a look at just how many establishment wonks are set to populate Obama's Cabinet. It's got me thinking about how glad I am that I get my political analysis from other sources, because this is about two weeks behind. CommentsLeave a Reply |  Daniela Perdomo
Daniela was raised mostly on the Tropic of Capricorn, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. At Tufts she wrote short fiction, was a community organizer, and authored a senior project on nation-building in societies marked by the absence of a human rights culture. Her first job was as a staff writer for the Los Angeles Times, where she realized that old-school media is, indeed, old. She now lives in San Francisco, where she works on immigrant education and outreach. Daniela enjoys bassline-driven dance parties, communing with the Californian landscape, and novels where characters redefine social moralism. Read the Whyrooters
