Village Voice Memo To Freelancers: Don't Bust Our Balls

Village Voice editor Tony Ortega published an open memo today to any freelance writers potentially interested in pitching to his paper. His message is crystal clear: don’t #$%& it up for yourselves, yo. (Roughly paraphrased.)
Ortega points to one freelancer in particular as an example of what not to do when pitching a story idea to an editor.
