Remains of the Day, 9-20-07


1. Welcome Debra Adams Simmons as the Plain Dealer’s new managing editor. She replaces Tom O’Hara. She’s 42 and from the Akron Beacon Journal, where the PD article says she was a vp and editor. ABJ folks – whaddyaknow? Not much, or something?

2. Now, anyone can access New York Times columnist Paul Krugman’s blog, called “The Conscience of a Liberal.” H/t Progress Ohio (and belated happy b-day!).

3. The Knight Foundation’s Future of the First Amendment survey is available for review, critique, lambasting and lauding. H/t PJNet.org which summarizes with the gist that kids get their news from online sources and what they consider to be news isn’t so different from what their parents think is news.

4. Fun analysis at PressThink about how it was a consent decree of the Web Court that forced the NYT to go free. It’s all clear to me now! (I agree, too.)

5. We knew this was coming – parents of caged kids sue social workers. Generally, social workers for municipal entities have immunity but there are limits. It will be interesting to see how far this goes.

6. A game called Consumer Consequences to help you determine how sustainable you are, to be played before, during or after you read these related posts from Brewed Fresh Daily here and here and terra, not terror. H/t Poynter.

7. This article about schools and colleges underreporting crime does not suprise me, especially having been the victim of a crime, on campus, at Georgetown, at the hands of another classmate whom the administration knew was a problem. Another story for another post.

8. Feminist Campus E-zine. Several ways in which I’m probably excluded from their target audience, but I still really like to see what groups like theirs are doing, especially with their leadership program.
