The Rex Sorgatz New York Times Profile is Live, and Just Wrong

Yet again, the New York Times — and specifically, the Styles section — has given the full go-ahead to let loose on their utter animals-in-cages fascination with this thing called “New Media” and the people who run it and the fact that, ZOMG! They’re kinda legit and they make decent money. In other words, they missed the point.

I don’t know, I kind of like the Rex profile. It’s about 500 times better than the nerds-with-Twitter-necklaces-hanging-out-at-Tom-&-Jerry’s piece that was based on a contrived party convened by an ex-Times employee solely for the purpose of getting a piece in the Times about how nerds with Twitter necklaces hang out at Tom & Jerry’s and then blog and tweet about it endlessly. At least this one did a thorough job of reporting on actual enterprise.

NYT Styles is like NY Mag, it exists to arouse and then salve the anxieties of suburbanites (e.g., people in the UWS and Park Slope) who are always mildly worried that there is exciting stuff going on that they don’t know about.
