ProPublica Brings DSK Journalists Croissants, Prospect Of Love

The fine folks over at ProPublica know the importance of a good, balanced breakfast. That’s why they decided to serve a meal to the journalists camped outside former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn‘s temporary residence – which, as luck would have it, happens to be just across the street from ProPublica’s office.

ProPublica staffers brought their fellow journalists croissants and coffee, possibly in slow motion and to a stirring ballad by Michael Bublé (at least, that’s how I’m choosing to picture it).

Gossip ensued:

However, one person refused our coffee because we did not have milk to go with it (clearly he was French!).

Apparently, one photographer was more enamored with ProPublica’s social media intern than he was with the free goodies. After pointing out to her that his camera and lens was bigger than hers, she remarked, “ok, you win.” To which the photographer replied, “No you win because you’re cuter.”

You guys! That’s so cute! Who knew the alleged unsavory and illegal actions of a power-hungry executive could eventually lead to a love match?

In any case: Kudos to ProPublica. You’re some of the good ones.

(And maybe you’d like to stop by the Mediaite offices at some point for PopTarts and a warm cup of Tang.)
