What We Can All Learn From Wedding Announcements
This week on Under The Radar:
Few would dispute that The New York Times has elevated the age-old tradition of the wedding announcement to an important status symbol. Why, in these times, when many other social traditions have gone the way of the polar ice cap, do the announcements still draw enthusiastic readers?
Author Cate Doty shares her insider’s view in her book, “Mergers and Acquisitions: Or Everything I Know About Love I Learned from the Wedding Pages.”
Guest:
Cate Doty is a writer and a former editor at The New York Times, where she worked for nearly 15 years, including as a wedding announcements writer, presidential campaign reporter and a senior staff editor on the Food desk. She teaches journalism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, from which she graduated, and lives in North Carolina with her family.
