Six months ago New York Times Op-It Girl Maureen Dowd got a new gig at the Grey Lady.
Via Politico’s Dylan Byers:
Maureen Dowd joins N.Y. Times Magazine
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd is joining the New York Times Magazine as a “narrative journalist,” the paper announced Monday.
Dowd will continue to write a column for the Times Opinion page each Sunday, as well as write narrative pieces for the Times Magazine.
Except . . . she hasn’t.
As far as we can tell, Dowd has yet to file for the Times Magazine.
We couldn’t find her in the gala relaunch. And the Times website lists only these Opinion pieces as Dowd’s latest contributions.
So what’s the holdup, MoDo?
Writer’s blech?
Or what?
She’s probably up at Kennebunkport, nibbling cucumbers.
Not to be mean about it, but I fail to see how a 64-year old woman can provide a fresh, youthful, and energetic view the world.
Perhaps she’s delayed because she’ getting fewer e-mails these days?
