A Brief History of the New York Times’ Coverage of Selling Art Online
This week, the New York Times published a trend story about buying art online by Vindu Goel, a technology reporter for the paper.

The piece would not to be worth mentioning at all if it weren’t the same trend story that the Times
has been publishing for the last two decades, with slightly different
numbers plugged into the formula. The paper of record recycles the topic
of art collecting online every few months.

But here’s an idea: if you’re a Times editor and a pitch comes
in from a staffer or a freelancer about how the market for online sales
of art remains small but more people are willing to buy art online
because everyone is awfully comfortable with the Internet now, maybe
think about your publication’s previous coverage and, you know, don’t
publish the same story over and over and over again? People notice these
things.
