A Times update
Kit Seelye of The New York Times believes that the story about Greensboro's citizen journalism movement will run Monday. I should say it is "scheduled" to be published. There are many reasons it might not be, but at least it is written. She's been fact-checking and plugging holes this week. She must be committed to getting it done, though; as the reporter covering newspapers for the Times, you'd think she'd be distracted by this story, which is pretty important. But she's not covering it.
Personally, I'd prefer the story held one more week. Publishing it on July 4 means that it will probably have lower readership as many potential readers will be returning home from holiday weekends. It also means that the story will not be posted on the some mass-media Web sites that close for long weekends, including Romenesko.
Of course, if the story reflects negatively upon us, then Monday is a wonderful day to publish.
