A reporter of the Newyork Times has made major contributions to the Home section according to an article entitled Talk to the Newsroom: Home reporter.
For 10 years Penelope Greene has been a freelance writer contributing articles to major magazines such as "Vogue" and "House Beautiful."
It was not until 2006 until Greene returned to the New York Times becoming a reporter of the Home section.
The New York Times reports that other staff members have answered some of the questioins available in Greene's articles.
Some of her works are "This Season's Must Have: The Little Black Roll," and "Saying Yes to Mess."
I appreciate the New York Times effort to acknowledge a journalist that many people may not pay attention too. Alot of people don't realize that there are journalists for every section in the newspaper including the Home section. It is a great opportunity to be able to not only work for the New York Times but have other journalists take the time out and respond to your articles. She is truley an inspiration to many people including myself.

Network Voting Calls
Networks may call the race before voting is complete
According to the NYTimes, at least one broadcast network and one website said Monday that they could try signaling to viewers early Tuesday evening which candidate may have won the presidency.
"When a candidate gets 270 electoral votes, they're the next president," said Sheldon Gawiser,director of elections for NBC news.
News organizations are preparing for a race that could be far less close than those in 2004 or 2000.
The NYTimes reports that the networks are going to be very particular as to how they will telegraph the way the election is going.
I think that networks, whether more liberal or conservative should wait until the polls are closed before making any remarks as to which way the the election is going. This is important because an inaccurate call may in-turn prevent someone from voting.
However I do think that if a presidency candidate has 75 percent of the electoral votes at a given point of time it would be very smart of the networks to make a confident call.
