“[Cintra] Wilson told me she usually writes about ‘obscure stores that don’t exist outside of Manhattan,’ and she thinks of her audience as ’1,300 women in Connecticut and urban gay guys in Manhattan.” She said it was ‘kind of provincial of me [Wilson]‘ not to realize how big The Times was and how her audience would expand when she reviewed a store like Penney’s. She said she also thought she hit a raw nerve with people already disposed to think of The Times as disconnected and unsympathetic. ‘It was dumb on my part not to see this coming,’ she said.” —NY Times Public Editor Clark Hoyt in trying to lay to rest the great Cintra Wilson/JCPenney feud of ’09.
