Editor listens and responds

Yesterday morning playbill.com boasted:
Passing Strange Star Jones to Replace Blake in This Beautiful City.

Star Jones? On Broadway?

That would be passing strange. I wanted to tip off the editor. Playbill's website made it simple with an easy-to-locate Contact Us button and a Contact Us page that can serve as a model to others; names and addresses, no gatekeepers. I emailed a note to editor Andrew Gans, and later that day, the headline was rewritten:
Passing Strange star Rebecca Naomi Jones to replace Stephanie Blake in This Beautiful City.

Rebecca Naomi Jones thanks you, and so do I.
