Is the New York Times back?

The New York Times sent a reporter to Trenton to cover the Governor's 2009 State of the State address.

Some encouraging new from the New York Times: the paper of record that has closed its Trenton news bureau and pulled their New Jersey reporting team, sent one of their top-flight reporters, David Chen, to the statehouse yesterday to cover Gov. Jon Corzine’s State of the State Address.  This is the NYT’s second story on the New Jersey governor this week; on Sunday, freelancer Dunstan McNichol wrote about Corzine’s future prospects.  Chen ran the Trenton bureau for the NYT before being assigned to New York City Hall.
