[meteorite-list] "Black-Market Trinkets From Space" April 5, 2011

...if it will be carried into the hundreds of webpages, blogs, for a already reproducing the NYT arcticle.
Most of them have a possibility to add a comment,
hence with the help of the list members...


Here in Germany, the article hasn't any effect yet, was only given in a geology/science blog.

Huh imagine Alex, the newspaper with the highest-circulation is my home newspaper, the SZ, they have a cooperation with NYT, giving each Monday a selection of NYT-times articles on several pages.
Lucky me, that they hadn't taken over that article (was only one printed one about goldilocks exoplanets).
I mean, imagine my neighbours pointing with the finger on my, telling that here comes the drug lord?

..only because that lazy Mr.Broad forgot all principles of journalism and delivered a piece, each and every trainee would have done more diligently and at a higher quality standard.

Anyway, I would certainly agree to Geoff Notkin, who wrote: "even the edited version helps get the point across", regarding Daryll Pitt´s letter to the NYT. Thanks, Daryll!

This is important! You most certainly can´t circumvent or obviate editing, but it is good to have a good argument made available to the public, who can then put it into some more subtle perspective for themselves.

Anne has done a very sophisticated job with her rebuttal, but don´t expect to have that printed by the NYT. This great rebuttal will take effect in a more profound sense elsewhere, I´m sure.

Best,
Alex
