Stumbling over Gold

I went looking for the email address of Jennifer 8. Lee, a reporter for the New York Times. I wanted it because I wanted to ask a question about The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, a great little book I'm reviewing for the April Issue of The Internet Review of Books.

I didn't expect to find it. Whenever I've contacted a Times reporter previously, I've noticed that there is an mechanism that does not reveal personal email addresses.

But while browsing the Times site, I found a wonderful resource: The New York Times Newsroom Navigator.
