Age Inappropriate


Via Romenesko, who is having none of this bullshit from the Beastie Boy and his wife:
What NYT and the couple won’t tell you: Mike D. is 46; his wife is 51.

I've never understood why some print media automatically include age when writing about a person.

I can't imagine routinely reading "David Smith, 147 lbs..." or "Anne Kline, 5'6"..." unless those characteristics were relevant to the story. But in some newspapers, age is apparently essential.
