The Forward: 'Would be Nice if NYT Had Self-Awareness'

The outpouring of reaction continues. Late Monday, The Forward‘s Sarah Seltzer offered a personal take on the NYT Style story on the “Juicebox Mafia” or as we prefer, Boy Banders. She writes that she and fellow female journalists have been discussing the story for days. The story appears in “the sisterhood” section of the publication. The headline: “The Times’s Infatuation With the Blogosphere’s Boys.”

Excerpts:
