Jeff Madrick raised several criticisms of mainstream economics in his book, Seven Bad Ideas: How Mainstream Economists Have Damaged America and the World. The Nobelist and New York Times columnist ...Paul Krugman sat down at the City University of New York Graduate Center to discuss the issues last November. A lightly edited transcript follows. Janet Gornick, a director of the Luxembourg Income Study, where Paul Krugman also does research, moderated the event.
In May 2014, Zochrot -- a radical Israeli nongovernmental organization (NGO) -- was the focus of widespread mainstream media coverage featuring its iNakba mobile application (app). Articles on the ...app and Zochrot were published in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Haaretz, The Christian Science Monitor, Time Magazine, and several prominent blogs. Most, including The New York Times, promoted Zochrot's agenda while others, such as The Washington Post, included some criticism. While Zochrot has promoted this inverted narrative of "historic injustice" for many years, its sudden transformation from a fringe political NGO into a major media attraction was made possible by a steep increase in funding from European governments, often channeled through Christian international development and humanitarian aid organizations without any public scrutiny or parliamentary control. The NGO's founder Eitan Bronstein has stated, "When the refugees return, Jews will become a minority in the country. Israel as a Jewish state will change radically, and it will no longer be defined as such".

Here is a comprehensive report on a computer system that was developed for the New York Times by The Simulmatics Corporation.
In 2002, with many journalists cheering him on, Pres Bush signed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, one of many new laws that have expanded the list of corporate crimes and ratcheted up criminal penalties to ...terms longer than some serve for murder. The law, which criminalizes risk taking, includes provisions that will almost surely affect the use and protection of anonymous sources in the future. Its broad definition of obstruction of justice has First Amendment and civil liberties experts concerned.

The victims of Jayson Blair's transgressions all felt a sense of helplessness, and none of them should make "The New York Times" or the rest of the people feel good about people's expectations of ...journalism these days.

A perennial also-ran in the Pulitzer race is the newspaper with the country's largest readership - USA Today (circulation: 2.2 million). In its 20-year history, the paper has not won a single prize. ...How ironic, then, that USA Today has become the newspaper both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal are striving to emulate. For the two are rivals in a competition just as intense as the Pulitzers and ultimately more important to their future: the battle to supplant USA Today as America's largest national newspaper.
