Clint Hendler The Magazine Publishers of America and the American Society of Magazine Editors have jointly produced a neat little video that retells the story of the 00'-10' decade via magazine covers. Some are eerily prescient, like the ESPN Magazine that features a baby faced Yao Ming alongside the tag line "He's Next," or the February 2000 People cover asking... tag:www.cjr.org,2010://4.23065 2010-02-08T19:45:20Z 2010-02-09T16:24:53Z

Megan Garber Sometimes, the systems news organizations have put in place to make news more social--admirable as those systems generally are in spirit--really, really don't work in practice. To wit, the Huffington Post's rather unfortunate treatment--WHAT'S YOUR REACTION?--of today's sad news: the death of Representative John Murtha. tag:www.cjr.org,2010://4.23059 2010-02-05T23:32:15Z 2010-02-09T16:24:53Z

Justin Peters Earlier this week, Max Blumenthal, a journalist who has written for The Nation and other outlets, wrote a piece for Salon detailing James O’Keefe’s history with issues of race. For an article that will appear in CJR next week, Greg Marx examined Blumenthal’s allegation that O'Keefe, along with another man, planned a 2006 event at which white nationalist... tag:www.cjr.org,2010://4.23036 2010-02-02T17:18:26Z 2010-02-05T19:13:06Z

Alexandra Fenwick After reporting on the phenomenon of start-ups as virtual workplaces, telecommuting, the rise of the four-day work-week and other cost cutting workplace innovations made possible thanks in part to technological things like Google and the Internet and electricity, Inc. magazine is conducting its own experiment in the virtual workplace. This month, the business mag has sent its own... tag:www.cjr.org,2010://4.23032 2010-02-01T18:36:43Z 2010-02-04T23:22:10Z

Greg Marx Admin4B! Adam Liptak does great work covering the Supreme Court for The New York Times, and his piece today about Barack Obama’s very public criticism of the Citizens United decision is worth a read. But I want to provide a little bit of context for this paragraph: Presidents have mentioned the Supreme Court only rarely in State of the... tag:www.cjr.org,2010://4.23008 2010-01-27T20:51:57Z 2010-01-29T16:18:22Z

Greg Marx Admin4B! My roundup of right-wing reaction to the arrest of James O'Keefe and three others missed this from David Frum, bolstering his unpredictable conservative credentials: I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict: the James O’Keefe/Landrieu phone interference case will be resolved with a very stern talking to by a judge, no criminal record,... tag:www.cjr.org,2010://4.23002 2010-01-27T17:14:14Z 2010-01-28T19:04:48Z

Greg Marx Admin4B! The New York Times is a great newspaper, and just three weeks ago I was defending its prerogative to maintain the style, voice, and general approach that it has for many years. Even I’ve got to admit, though, that the Timesian habit of writing as if with pinky extended can verge on self-parody. A case in point, from... tag:www.cjr.org,2010://4.22991 2010-01-26T15:41:47Z 2010-01-27T20:12:07Z

Greg Marx Admin4B! Eric Schmitt’s front-page story in today’s New York Times—a report on the details of cables sent in November in which Karl Eikenberry, the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, expressed strong concerns about the quality of the Karzai government and the commitment of further American troops—includes this interesting note on how the Times obtained the documents: An American... tag:www.cjr.org,2010://4.22990 2010-01-26T15:22:29Z 2010-01-27T20:12:07Z

Greg Marx Admin4B! I know that rolling your eyes at all the hype around Apple’s latest hotly anticipated device has now become nearly a cliché in itself, and the example I’m about to flag is surely not the most egregious thing out there.

Greg Marx Admin4B! Yes, says the poli-sci blogger Jon Bernstein. In the course of responding to a series of posts by Ezra Klein, he writes: If Americans in general don't like dealmaking and self-interest, I think it's fair to say that journalists double down on that. Goo Goo bias is far more pervasive -- and, more importantly, far more the basis...
