> “We’re black and white because the news is black and white — what is there to color?” Mr. Blachman said.

This sounds like a very poetic and simultaneously very New York thing to say. I don't know Mr. Blachman but I like him already. I know everyone on a first-name basis but he sounds like the kind of person you'd strictly refer to as "Mr. Blachman."

This makes me wonder if other cities have this kind of thing or if it's unique to NYC?
