Dear Editors at the New York Times

Dear Editors at the New York Times,

Several days have passed since books were banned in Tucson. Why have you not covered that news? Maybe I've missed it?

I searched your site, and I see that you've covered the Jaipur Literature Festival in India where people are reading from Rushdie's The Satanic Verses. That is an important story to bring to your readers, but what about the censorship of books written by citizens of the United States?!

WHERE IS YOUR COVERAGE OF THAT?

Update: Saturday, January 21, 1:45 PM CST

Tomorrow's New York Times will carry an editorial titled "Rejected in Tucson." It is available online here. Why is it an editorial, and not a front page news item? Why is it on the opinion piece instead of a news report on the front page?
