New York — I made it inside the New York Times, by way of a science journalism award from the Journalism Resource Institute at Rutgers University.
Sitting in the modern, natural-light-permeated new home of what's considered the nation's best newspaper I heard about the troubled financial times affecting even them.
Deputy science editor David Corcoran and science writer Don McNeil spoke. It was an eye-opening experience.
"Our writers are at the top of their game," Corcoran says. "They come from either a top journal (Science, Nature) or one of our competitors (The Wall Street Journal)."
The next stop was the Associated Press national desk.
Malcolm Ritter is an incredibly down-to-earth and fascinating guy. If he is representative of AP's national writers then I'm a bigger fan than I thought.
