Can't we all just get along?

As pr professionals we deal with media on a daily basis, so I'm sure we all have at least one incident of a journalist being unnecessarily rude and down right mean. For those of you that have more than one, don't feel bad. Apparently, it's pretty nasty in some news rooms.

Catfight Erupts in New York Times "Style" Section: To Staffers' Shock, Two Editors Take to Pushing and Shoving in Power Struggle
from Bulldog Reporter's Daily Dog "Media News"

The dustup between two female editors in The New York Times "Styles" department disrupted work on the Thursday and Sunday Styles sections—and section staffers were shocked to witness the catfight, the NY Daily News reports. Fashion editor Anita LeClerc was said to be the aggressor and her superior, deputy editor Mary Ann Giordano, the victim, sources say.

The two had exchanged words just moments before, allegedly over turf, and LeClerc began stomping around the office, muttering loudly to herself. But when Giordano, who recently shifted over from the Metro section, came over in a conciliatory way and tried to smooth things over, LeClerc made it physical, reports the Daily News' "Rush & Molloy" column.

"She shoved Mary Ann and pushed her, and Mary Ann said, 'Don't you touch me! Don't you touch me!'" says a source. "Mary Ann grabbed her wrists to try to stop her, and [LeClerc] just started flailing." Top editor Trip Gabriel grabbed LeClerc and dragged her into his office as Giordano followed.

"They were in there for a long time," reports a source. When they came out, Anita went back to her desk, but Mary Ann went out for a walk. She looked shaken." Many at The Times are baffled as to why no apparent disciplinary action has been taken against LeClerc, according to the Daily News column.
