Do journalists in New York do any original thinking at all?
Topics: Education, Magazines, Media, and Seattle Weekly
Comments
A national magazine based 2,500 miles away uses the same hackneyed
headline on a story about Gates and education as the Weekly used a
year ago, and the delusional Chuck Taylor presumes they lifted it from
his relatively obscure, undistinguished weekly?
Present that same story to 100 mediocre copy editors across the
country, and I'd bet 75 percent come up with some variation of getting
"schooled." And, like Business Week editors, most of them have never
even heard of Seattle Weekly.
Get your self-important head out of the clouds, Chuck.
Posted June 22, 2006 at 1:50 pm by Bob HigginsI tend to agree that the odds of coming up with the same headline for the same topic are high, but isn't one of the authors of the Business Week story based in Seattle? Perhaps he forgot he saw it in passing a year ago, who knows.
Anyway, I don't think he would have allowed Business Week to use the exact same headline if he were merely ripping off the idea.
Just my two cents.
