NY Times

sac·ro·sanct · (adjective)
1 : most sacred or holy : inviolable
2 : treated as if holy : immune from criticism or violation

When I read my about my first person, I came across Bob Herbert who is a columnist for the New York Times. He caught my eye because I like to think of myself as a columnist I suppose. Bob Herbert joined the NY Times staff in 1993 and he writes a twice a week column about social trends or political affairs. Although Mr. Herbert has established himself as a wonderful columnist even his works aren't sacrosanct. He often receives criticism about his work from the general public.
The next person I chose to take a look at was Lynn Zinser. She caught my eye because she is a sports writer for the Times which is somewhat surprising. I'm not saying it's weird that she is a woman sports writer, it is just unique. She has been on the staff since 2003 and she typically covers Olympic athletes. She is pretty awesome, end of story.
