Publicity you can’t buy
- Share via
It is no secret that publicists and newspaper editors enjoy a symbiotic relationship. But I have never before seen anything to rival the free full-page virtual advertisement given to the recently published “Hollywood Animal” by Joe Eszterhas (“Ego, Cash and Fate,” Feb. 1). To present excerpts of this book, not yet even covered by your paper’s reviewers, in the guise of a feature article, absent any journalistic voice, any critical point of view, represents a new low in celebrity pandering and a disservice to your readers.
