Another NYT Family Member Gets a Beat While Hyperlocal Blogs Write About Lost Dogs, Plus Other News of the Day

– Another New York Times family member has received a new assignment. According to the New York Observer, Sam Dolnick – grandnephew to former Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger – will begin work on the Metro desk as an immigration reporter. Dolnick started at the NYT last year as a general assignment reporter, and it sounds a lot better than the beat given to A.G. Sulzberger, the only other family member writing for the paper.
