Curious FCR omission in Times story about Senegal-to-NYC rower
Though Forest City Ratner figures prominently in the story about Victor Mooney and his plans to row from Senegal to New York to call attention to AIDS prevention, The New York Times makes no mention of the developer and its business partner's support in yesterday's article, "A Slow, Solo Crossing of the Atlantic Is One Man's Response to the AIDS Crisis ".
TimesRatnerReport ponders the decision:
Why leave Forest City Ratner out of the article? It's a judgment call, and not an easy one. Is the donation of a work space more worthy of mention than the donation of supplies? Maybe the omission was a question of space, and that paragraph got cut from the final version of the article.
