Children's literature is not for the weak. It is a ruthless cutthroat business with lots of gnashes of the teeth. Children's librarianship, in contrast, is a sweet sweet ride. Now you can hear me as I growl, gargle, and kvetch my way through news, reviews, and interviews. Kidlit podcasting = scary new world.

Score Thus Far - Paul Acampora: 1 / Wall Street Journal: 0
I'm pretty much the last person to do this, but kudos to Paul Acampora for getting the real dirt on that lowly scum of a Wall Street Journal intern. Yes, folks. An intern wrote the why-don't-our-children-read-quality-literature-anymore broken record of an article. Acampora does some first class journalism that you'd think the WSJ would cultivate. In this case, as it appears, not so much.
Wait, where are you seeing that an intern wrote the article?
ReplyDeleteGood point. Paul doesn't mention it but several other bloggers discovered it soon after the fact. You can check out Mother Reader's piecefor that l'il ole factoid.
