The Columnist Who Went into the Cold
It looks like working at a newspaper really is one of the worst jobs in America. It was bad enough when you had to worry you could be laid off at any minute. Now you might get frostbite, too:
Just look at what Michael Daly of the Daily News did this morning:
Daily News columnist Michael Daly will be outside Goldman Sachs this morning, a day after calling on big-bucks bankers to come to work with canned food for the hungry.
"I will be out front with a box at the old headquarters, and then the new one, collecting for the New York Daily News 'Readers Care to Feed the Hungry' food drive," Daly wrote in Tuesday's paper.
Daly is hauling his box to 85 Broad St. from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., and to the investment bank's new headquarters, 200 West St., from 10a.m. to 11 a.m.
He hopes bankers will "show us how wrong we are to hate you" by showing up with canned food.
On the plus side: At least Daly will have some experience with panhandling if he's let go during the next round of layoffs at the paper.
