Frank Rich announced on March 1 that he was leaving the New York Times to become editor-at-large and columnist at New York magazine. Simon Dumenco last night spotted downtown Manhattan street posters trumpeting “FRANK RICH on the American Scene… DEBUT ISSUE ON SALE JULY 4” under New York magazine’s logo. Having your own outdoor campaign is a pretty big deal, says Dumenco.
