    Thanks for the update - totally missed this one. (Lana - thanks for reporting back. As you say - at least you got a response, but not exactly encouraging.)

    Hello. I did email a pitch on a smaller European city--well researched and supported with interesting details. I was told "we just did a special Europe section and will wait on this." Short but polite. But also not what I'd call encouraging.

    Yes, Ed is correct. Interesting to read that Danielle has zero travel writing experience. My main contacts and assignments are from the picture editors but I have tried several times to do a combination travel writing and photo assignment for NYT. My ideal assignment would be a Weekend in.... that shows photos of the specific place along with the caption.

    Lana, et. al., if you feel comfortable doing so, please let us know on this forum you receive a reply from Danielle.

    Well, from what I can see, I think you're right. The NYT email was posted on Gawker.
