Confused by the Washington Post’s transition from Leonard Downie to Marcus Brauchli?
Fortunately, the big media give us some helpful tips on how to say the new executive editor’s name.
- New York Times: “Mr. Brauchli (pronounced BROW-klee)”
- Washington Post: “Brauchli (pronounced BROW-klee)”
- AP: “Brauchli (whose name is pronounced BROCK’-lee)”
Of course, we know where our bread is buttered (pronounced BUTT-ered), so we’ll follow Fishbowl’s direction:
It’s pronounced like “broccoli.”
Ah yes, like the James Bond producer!
