'Most E-Mailed' List Tearing New York Times' Newsroom Apart
The New York Times most-emailed list "is destroying morale and escalating tensions among the once-dignified and professional Times staff," the Onion reports.
Sure, it's The Onion making people laugh, but it has a scaring ring of truth to it -- reporters and editors are paying close attention to what's making the list (which is not a bad thing).
"Your reputation is everything here at the Times, and if you want get known, you've got to deliver what readers want: differences between men and women, and photos of cats," national political reporter Adam Nagourney "said". "I suppose I could be most e-mailed, too, if I sat in front of my computer all day making up cutesy names for government officials, like some redheaded Wednesday and Saturday columnists I know."

The reporters should show more professional maturity.
