HE'S VERY OPINIONATED

Excellent news at The New York Times.

Frank Bruni, who is openly gay, moves his inkwell to the Op/Ed section.

This will be so great to get another gay man's perspective on the issues. We can't do it alone on this blog!!!!

Via email of Andrew M Rosenthal (editor of the Opinion Page) to NYT staffers:

“This column, which will be a new anchor feature of the section, will be a sharp, opinionated look at a big event of the last week, from a different or unexpected angle, or a small event that was really important but everyone seems to have missed, or something entirely different. It will fast become a destination for our readers with Frank at the keyboard.”

Bruni quips:

I’m excited and really grateful. At The Times and beforehand, I’ve been lucky to be able to write about many different topics, and I’m eager to take on a job that will allow me to range across most or all of them in a reflective, analytical and sometimes—I hope—spirited way.”
