Man Bites Blog
The NY
Times
has a fluffy article today about the blogging boom in Brooklyn. Astoundingly
and inexplicably, the article makes no mention of Atlantic Yards, the borough's
biggest and most controversial development plan, and the two influential, widely-read
blogs it has spawned: Atlantic
Yards Report and NoLandGrab.
It's not whining to suggest that there is something wrong with this omission;
an article on blogging in Brooklyn without mention of these two essential and extraordinary blogs is like
an article on Atlantic Yards without mention of Bruce Ratner, or a Times
article about Atlantic Yards without disclosure of the company's business relationship
with Forest City Ratner.
Norman Oder today takes a look at this article and 2 others about blogging in
Brooklyn, and finds that the Courier papers (cheerleaders for Atlantic
Yards) and Brooklyn!!!, Mr. Markowitz's house organ, and the Times are
all on the same plane when it comes to ignoring Atlantic Yards blogs--no surprise
there.
From the Atlantic Yards Report: AY
a notable omission in accounts of the Brooklyn blogging boom
