Last Saturday, in our weekly “Darts & Laurels” package on the editorial page, we gave a dart to the seemingly endless fascination with the Alycia Lane story.
Maybe we should have given a dart to the editor as well.
One of the jobs that falls under my job description is trying to give people what they want. Of course what readers want and what I want don’t always coincide.
Two days after that little stab at the Lane coverage, our resident TV columnist, Neal Zoren, took a look at where Lane stands now, with the charges against her being all but dismissed, where her career might go from here, and the prospects of the lawsuit she is contemplating against her former employer, Channel 3. You can read it here.
Lane, for those of you like me who look down their nose at such coverage, was the former KYW_TV-3 anchorwoman who got in the dustup with New York City police. It made her – again – the darling of the tabloids.
We have a mechanism that allows us to detect what the top stories are on our Web site every day.
Guest what the top read was on Monday? Yep, you got it. I guess that’s life in the fast “Lane.” I’ll remember that the next time I’m downplaying some item that we are about to bury back on the People Page.
