I’m hoping that when the NY Times reports tomorrow that “Artemis and the Stag” is on view at the Metropolitan Museum (as I expect that it will), it will follow its own journalistic guidelines and say that the story “was first reported by art writer Lee Rosenbaum on her blog, CultureGrrl.”
But I won’t hold my breath. Already Buffalo News reporter Colin Dabkowski (whom I’ve credited by name in many of my Albright-Knox posts) sent me an e-mail thanking me for “the tip” (by which he meant my recent post) but published a piece, now on the newspaper’s website, making no mention that his report was predicated on mine.
Maybe the credit will get into what he said will be a “slightly more fleshed-out” version, coming out tomorrow.
Maybe not.
