{"value"=>"<p>This series is made up of files that contain items to, from, or concerning various individuals, primarily <span class=\"title\">New York Times</span> staff members, with some files on politicians and other newsmakers. Staff member files typically include letters and memoranda between them and Metropolitan Desk editors. They frequently consist of feedback on and assessments of their work. A few staff files also contain biographical and work history reports and photographs of the staff (portraits and shots from events and inside <span class=\"title\">The Times'</span> offices). While this series contains some correspondence with sources, politicians, and other prominent New Yorkers, most of the non-staff members' files are made up of letters discussing <span class=\"title\">The Times'</span> reporting on these individuals, though they occasionally contain notes on off-the-record events such as luncheons or one-on-one meetings.</p> <p>Files are arranged alphabetically by name. Entries without box and folder numbers cross-reference related material in other files. These files do not necessarily collect every letter, memorandum, or document related to the individual; subject files should also be consulted, particularly for additional letters and memoranda among Metropolitan Desk editors.</p>"}
