From: "Jim O'Donnell" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2018 19:35:31 -0700 With great thanks to Clara Ginther for collecting this excellent list of the appearances in German media. The original article in the Indian Express indicated that The New Yorker in the U.S. is also participating in the journalistic project, but I've seen nothing there yet. So far as I can tell, as well, the Indian Express original article did much the best job of cataloging specific publishers, describing their scale and practices, and giving the publishers an opportunity to voice their own view of their work. Am I missing something in the German articles? I'd welcome a pointer if so.
