As posted on nymag.com: Dear Intel: I'm one of the Times reporters running The Local, and the premise of the your introductory anecdote is untrue. The Local has four, count 'em, interns from Columbia J-school: Haley Sweetland Edwards, Jeremy Herb, Sung Moss and Alexandra Cheney. Their bylines are all over both the Brooklyn and New Jersey Locals, and their bios are on our contributor pages. We also have an intern from Queens College, Elisa Mala, and one from Seton Hall, Amanda Conte. In addition to these interns, The Local is indeed collaborating with students from CUNY, on a citizen-blogger project. But the other interns are at least as essential to our fledgling operation. Please check your facts before writing. Thanks, Andy Newman The Local www.nytimes.com/fortgreene hey bwog,
