It's funny that the author makes several mistakes in this piece criticizing writing.

The first jumped off the page at me:

"She is involved in The Drunken Canal, a regional print publication based New York City"

This is also bad writing:

“Honor Levy was conflicted about pulling her piece from The Drunken Canal, a regional New York print paper she began last year. She had several short stories published in the New Yorker, but this felt different.”

Regional is a redundant descriptor if New York is included. Just saying "regional" would make the sentence flow better. "Print paper" also doesn't have meaning, it's something the author made up.
