As might be expected, but apart from its arguably “dour” nickname, the “Grey Lady“, the New York Times is at the forefront of fashion, style and the arts with its TMagazine, online sister publication to its hardcopy T The New York Times Style Magazine
About TMagazine:
“The ultimate destination for all things related to style. The new site combines the visually rich, dynamic content of the award-winning magazine with interactive multimedia: videos, infographics and “The Moment” blog, featuring lively updates throughout the day by T editors, guest bloggers and correspondents from around the world.”
The fact that the New York Times would pay (and traditionally has paid) as much attention to fashion and style as it has says as much for its legacy as a news journal as it does for its attempting to be a barometer of “fashionable” or “en vogue” - New York City is, of course, well known for setting trends and being an arts / fashion launching pad … - the fashion and arts industries are HUGE factors in New York City’s economy so NY fashion and style / arts trends are of keen interest to many people for a diverse variety of reasons, both locally and worldwide and for business reasons as well as people just wanting to (and / or wanting to see other people 
…look good and enjoy the “finer” things in life…
What caught my eye was the recent publication of a series of online short films, TTakes, shot on location recently at this year’s Sundance Film Festival - what’s ironic and interesting is (so far… at this writing only two of the 19 segments have been released…) the films are not so much journalistic coverage of the festival, (which the Times provided as well…) but rather that these short films are more like mini dramas, little films just shot on location in Utah, in many ways seemingly unrelated to the actual film festival.
TTakes:
“In our new episodic film series, Hollywood’s bright young things improvise for the camera.
Shot by the emerging New York writer and director Brody Baker during the recent Sundance festival, these 12 short films were conceived to be viewed sequentially and feature the likes of Josh Hartnett, Michael Pitt and Lukas Haas. A new installment of ‘Take’ will be posted each weekday at 10:00 a.m. Tune in on March 17 for the first episode, starring Hartnett.”
Umm, they dont mention her but I kinda liked the little vignette that featured gorgeous Morena Baccarin myself…
