The August news cycle is upon us

It’s late August.

All the top news reporters and newsmakers are on vacation, including the president. It’s the slow time of the year for news, where “bullsh** stories blossom like gladiolas,” as Gawker’s John Cook put it.

Might be a good time to contact the newsroom with that pitch you’ve been crafting, especially since many of the A-team reporters are on vacation and the stand-ins are looking for a hot scoop.

Just saying.
