Monday, January 12th, 2009New York Times Spoof
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008Note: This info comes via Tikkun – Rabbi Michael Lerner:Â
We hope the people who did this spoof on the NY Times and Tom Friedman don’t get sued or go to jail because this is some of the funniest and at the same time smartest things that have come down the pike in a long time.
Send it to your friends.
Letter to an Editor, New America Media
Monday, November 17th, 2008This is a copy of an email I sent to NAM yesterday, regarding its publishing of two news videos produced by my senior editors, senior producers Jonathan Mena and Jacqueline Fernandez, about the gay rights protest rally at NYC City Hall.
Hi,
Just a note regarding my student senior editors’, senior producers’ video that NAM graciously noted on its front page November 16. The “Word” is actually spelled, uppercase, WORD and it is not an official part of my department’s journalism program.
The Denver Trip Still Resonates
Monday, November 10th, 2008A writer for Hunter’s alumni magazine is working on an article about my students trip to Denver to report on the Democratic National Convention. I’m not sure when it will be published but I thought I would publish the questions she asked of me via email and my responses.

Back from the Democratic Convention, Getting Ready for Classes But …
Sunday, August 31st, 2008I will be writing a lot about the Democratic Convention even though it ended August 28 and the Republican event is about to begin. There was so much going on and I’m not just referring to the political wheeling and dealing and the pageantry. I’m going to provide a kind of behind-the-scenes look. Journalism technology, for example, was on awesome display.
Desperately Seeking John Liu, NYC Council Member And NY Delegate to the Democratic National Convention
Saturday, August 23rd, 2008Being a journalist is tough. Being a student journalist is even tougher. Student journalists have absolutely no clout and very few connections. This reality has never been more apparent than in my quest to interview New York City Council Member John Liu.
