New York Times Uses 100 Interviews Without Linking Back. And Then We Work It Out.

100interviews:

In May, I wrote a piece on 100 Interviews about a couple in Staten Island, Amanda Curtis and Brendan Coyle, who run an art gallery out of their apartment.

Last week, Brendan Facebook-ed me to say that a reporter for the New York Times reached out to them about doing a piece. I thought it was cool. They deserve the recognition. In the message he wrote, “when she came to interview us she asked about your interview and said she was using it as a background reference on us to get aquainted(sic) with our story.” That worried me.

The Times piece came out on Sunday (ironically, the same day I had a small interview in the Times Magazine). The reporter didn’t plagiarize and I’m sure she got all the information from Brendan and Amanda directly but reading the piece, it didn’t sit right with me. The structure was exactly like mine, with no mention of 100 Interviews.

This is the email I sent to the Times in full:
