		Nicknamed "The Gray Lady" or The Times, the newspaper was founded as The New-York Daily Times in 1851 by Henry J. Raymond and George Jones as a sober alternative to the more partisan newspapers that dominated the New York journalism of the time.
		This policy also means that the Times is rarely first with a story (a "scoop"), unless it is local to New York, and that when the Times has a scoop that information is propagated world-wide to other papers and news sources.
		Comparisons have been made between the Times and the New York Post and Wall Street Journal, both of which are also published in New York have a much more conservative slant, at least on their editorial pages.

	Poynter Online - Books as 'News About the Culture': An Interview with Sam Tanenhaus
		In our interview about the NYTBR last January (see "The Plot Thickens at The New York Times"), executive editor Bill Keller ticked people off by contending that the section should be more pegged to the news.
		In a whopper review in his debut redesign October 3, he let Paul Berman ruminate on the political message of Philip Roth's latest novel "The Plot Against America," while in the upcoming October 10 issue, he is running an essay on Nora Roberts which presents that author in a non-snarky way.
		He catalogued the number of women writers and reviewers in the October 3 issue, defending himself against the charge that women are not welcome at the NYTBR (the most frequent criticism lodged against the section since he arrived, he told us).

	Poynter Online - The Plot Thickens at The New York Times Book Review
		Although Keller's ascendancy has brought plenty of reshuffling at the Times, in the case of the Sunday book review, perceptions in and outside the paper seem to have meshed.
		Regarding daily coverage, under Erlanger the book review team has been reduced from three to two (book reviewer Richard Bernstein has been dispatched to Berlin, and his slot was given to a reporter).
		Some of the non-fiction books he reviews for "urgency" are poorly written, he admits, but for him this is less important than the book's contents.

	National Review: A little help for their friends - demise of the New York Times Book Review
		The book is "hauntingly autobiographical," as she frankly admits, in the sense that, for the reviewer at any rate, it is never separable from its author's personal life.
		Nowhere does he mention that the new book, or at least the one volume of it that has ap- peared so far, is essentially a rewriting of the old one but without its freshness or stylistic elan.
		But it is typical of the NYTBR's reviews, which are often a testimony to the personal qualities of the author as revealed in his narrative.

		The New York Times Book Review overwhelmingly favors books and book reviews written by men, according to a new study from Brown University.
		Over the course of a year, the study reveals, 72 percent of all books reviewed in the NYTBR were written by men, and 66 percent of all reviews also carried a male byline.
		After analyzing 53 issues of the NYTBR published consecutively between 2002 and 2003, Caplan and Palko concluded that the Times' overreliance on male authors and reviewers is demoralizing to women's psychological development.

		As a long-time subscriber to the New Yorker, I am in complete awe and admiration of its mastery of the English language, but when a book is to be reviewed, one expects a reviewer to have expert knowledge of the subject in addition to the ability to express it.
		Schillinger is presumably "balancing" the review by having a paragraph of invectives that have been leveled against homeopathy rather than the underlying analysis that gave rise to them.
		The fact that "Robins's curious book does not attempt to debunk or to defend either medical school of thought," seems to be a praiseworthy aspect of the book.

		When his parents took him, for testing, to one of the leading New York schools for deaf children, they were told he was far too advanced to benefit from anything the school could offer.
		By the time he returned to Medill he was on his way to becoming a seasoned journalist, and when he graduated, with top academic standing and a stronger, more confident voice, he had a hatful of job offers.

	The New York Times Book Review and Publisher's Weekly
		The NYTBR is published weekly for $52.00 a year or $1.25 per issue and is found as a supplement to the New York Times or can be bought separately.
		TNYTBR derives its authority from its editors: Mitchell Levitas, editor, and from book review editor, Leroy Baylor, and from the method and number of its circulation: 78,000 copies, its availability as a supplement to The New York Times, and the length of time in print - ninety-nine years.

		However, the Book Review is under new management lately, and I'm happy to say that the publication has recently taken steps to upgrade its coverage of fiction and poetry.
		The fact that the Book Review is pushing its poetry coverage is major news, and David Orr debuted in good fashion a couple of weeks ago with a slam on one of the most acclaimed poets of our time, Jorie Graham.
		His book is called "Misfortune" and the author is now calling himself "Wesley Stace" (though the ad undercuts this by blatantly telling us that this is the almost-famous folksinger, for whatever sales value that may be worth).

	New N.Y. Times Book Review editor is a smart conservative
		But even if the Times book review were the best, it helps no one to make a fetish of it, the way some otherwise intelligent people do.
		Now for the bad news, at least in some circles: The conclusion that Tanenhaus is a man of the right can be reached by other methods besides jumping to it.
		The secret to editing an engaging book section has always been reviewing dead writers as if they were alive, and living ones as if they were dead.

	A Hundred Years of Lassitude - Will the New York Times Book Review bore readers for another century? By Jacob Weisberg

		This is the billing for a new biography of N.C. Wyeth, the illustrator whose family saga is a tasty, Gothic tale--something of which you get no hint unless you read all the way through the "jump." The review is by Adam Gopnik, one of the funniest writers around.

		When a review of Robinson's "The Peculiar Memories of Thomas Penman" made the cover of the Book Review in February, the comic novel -- otherwise relatively uncelebrated -- immediately sold out at, for example, New York's Barnes and Noble at Union Square; would-be buyers were asked to add their names to a lengthy waiting list.
		A dark-horse candidate for the Book Review's cover is more likely to come up a winner in publishing's dog days -- the months of July and August, when the torrent of review copies flowing into editors' offices slows to a trickle.
		Nonfiction books that aren't weighty biographies of mid-century statesmen or magisterial treatments of important historical or political topics also stand a better chance of landing a cover review in the summer months.

		The New York Times Book Review, with its leering disdain for celebrity biographies, movie tie-ins, and other marketing tactics, is the closest thing the country has to a natural wilderness of books.

		Such restraint, from a man who is anything but poor in ideas or halting in the means for expressing them, is remarkable in an age when most publicists seem to feel a craving for bursting into print at least once a year.
		Taking over the old Platonic vocable ‘demiourgos’ and fitting it out with a new meaning of his own invention, the exact connotations of which, it is not always easy to grasp, Burzio imagines a man who gives to Caesar what is Caesar’s without restricting the rights of the spirit.
		The man of letters must be able to make his living by a secondary occupation: a thesis not altogether new, since it was known to and practised by the Jews as late as the days of Spinoza.
