New York Times, let's talk turkey

So, I see, The New York Times has announced a transition to a digital subscription plan, with subscriptions in the United States beginning March 28.*

How about this, New York Times: You bring back the “On Language” column, and I’ll take out a digital subscription.

Do we have a deal?

About John McIntyre

John McIntyre, mild-mannered editor for a great metropolitan newspaper, has fussed over writers’ work, to sporadic expressions of gratitude, for thirty years. He is The Sun’s night content production manager and former head of its copy desk. He also teaches editing at Loyola University Maryland. A former president of the American Copy Editors Society, a native of Kentucky, a graduate of Michigan State and Syracuse, and a moderate prescriptivist, he writes about language, journalism, and arbitrarily chosen topics. If you are inspired by a spirit of contradiction, comment on the posts or write to him at john.mcintyre@baltsun.com.
