British Editors Flood NY; Cats, Dogs Not Friends
Have you heard? British newspaper and magazine editors are coming to New York! Their arrival is so important, American editors have to run articles about the phenomenon every few months. Oh, and they have to use the lede "The British are coming!" It's the law.
The latest is from a paper called The New York Sun, an adorable little broadsheet published every day or so. In Invasion of the British Editors, Part II Publishing, we learn that two or more British editors are now working for American publications. Paul Field, late of The Sun, will be heading up The National Enquirer, and Nicola McCarthy of US Weekly will help bring England's OK! to our celebrity news and gossip deprived shores. (Wouldn't US Weekly seem more festive if it had a nice exclamation point? We should email Ken Baker about that since we got his email from Paris Hilton's hacked Sidekick.)
Why are these Brits here (and why are they being written about again and again)? One word: packaging. Oh, and they're cheeky— possessing an "innate irreverence," even. Now you know, and you're a better person for it.
