Newsom Tracker: 13 days of silence

Today is raring to be the 13th straight day Mayor Gavin Newsom has not talked issues with the media.
As has become typical, Newsom has no public events scheduled. He’ll be in meetings all day at City Hall, a mayoral staffer said.
He is also listed tonight as a VIP at an event honoring Glide’s Rev. Cecil Williams, though his schedule does not say his attendance is definite.
We have at least seen a bit of chatter on Newsom’s Twitter account.
Could Newsom be taking a page from cyclist Lance Armstrong, whose ability to avoid the media forces reporters to rely on his Twitter account for quotes?
Maybe that works when chatting about a cycling race but we imagine it would be difficult to explain complex city issues in 140 characters or less, which is Twitter’s limit per post.
