It has now been eight days since we've heard anything from the Book Babes, with the last column featuring Margo alone (with an almost Stalinist exclusion of Ellen). Have the Book Babes been canned? Did someone actually pay attention to Mark's petition? Inquiring minds want to know.
To be clear to the Poynter Institute (if they are indeed watching), the collected hope was to raise the level of discourse, not eviscerate it completely.
I certainly hope that Poynter isn't foregoing book coverage altogether. But if they're looking for replacements, there are more than a few possibilites.
