"On the other hand, it may be mostly a happy boys club."

There are a few female names on the list.

And I hate to say it, but there seems to be a HIGHLY disproportionate percentage of Jewish people - or at least people with Jewish sounding names - on that list. Just an observation, not intended to be antisemitic in any way. Of course, I would imagine that if they are Jewish, they're probably JINOS - Jews in name only.

Not unexpected when you match the schools to the names to the neighborhoods in the City or to Connecticut ~ it's just a very inbred bunch of provincial political bottom sniffers ~ typical Greater New York stuff.

There's another group of similar nature but everybody is Italian or Sicilian ~ you just don't know about it ~ nor will you ever without some serious investigations.

BTW, for a variety of reasons i'm exceedingly familiar with the world of the nonprofit publishers ~ and lo and behold I didn't catch any of their people on this list. Doesn't mean they aren't on there, but they appear to not travel in these circles. Probably why they know me too!

I was thinking the same exact thing. I didn't know quite how to express it.

You did a wonderful job.

Thanks.

I think that there may be more young Jewish men in journalism, for much the same reason there are more young Jewish men in drama on TV and in MOVIES.

They seem to be good at it.

You mean, they're neocoms?

(As "neocons" is considered in some circles to be code for conservative, and therefore purportedly, "self-hating", Jews?)

Cheers!
