This is classic. The New York Times public relations staff complained to Gawker that it was not using the preferred headshot of Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. (top).
Note to NY Times PR: It’s fine to correct Editor & Publisher on the updated headshot, but Gawker? Didn’t they realize that they would just be made fun of?
Apparently not.
We can only assume the order came from the top. We’ve had many CEO bosses in our time — and one thing they all cared about was the headshot.
