It was inevitable that Rupert Murdoch's media empire would begin to realize economies of scale from its purchase earlier this year of The Brooklyn Paper. Evidence of that popped up today, when the NY Post's web site republished word-for-word Brooklyn Paper editor Gersh Kuntzman's story on DDDB's Daniel Goldstein's trip to the Forest City shareholder meeting.
For now, we can be thankful that The Brooklyn Paper (so far) hasn't republished Steve Cuozzo's loony Saturday column painting opponents as the Atlantic Yards fight's deep-pocketed, bullying liars.
Regardless, however, media consolidation does not bode well for the future of elucidation and exposition, for this story or any other.
