  2. America's eyes and ears, and funnybone: Chris Erskine

    Sometimes what I think the Pulitzer committee is after, humor-wise, isn't just one epic exposé, as per last week's gem on rotten-tomato fights. It's a body of hard-hitting work.

  4. BROADWAY REVIEW: Audience subscribes to 'Newsies' charms

    <span class="dateline" style="text-align: justify; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">NEW YORK &mdash;</span>There is something uniquely appealing, entertainment history reveals, about urban urchins in cloth caps, be they Parisian waifs, London pickpockets or unflaggingly optimistic New York orphans. If they sing and dance and have lost a parent or two, all the better. And if they sell newspapers for a living? Then they become fresher-faced and more empathetic versions of the archetypal ink-stained wretch, battered as these boys are between the mean streets and the selfish scoops of their mercurial bosses, obsessed, then and now, with their declining circulation.

  7. Sayles stays rooted in change

    Late on a weekday afternoon, we called John Sayles, the independent's independent, the pragmatist's pragmatist. He was on the outskirts of Boise, in the passenger's seat of a rented Prius, beside Maggie Renzi, his longtime partner and producer. He's tall, serious, with thin hair, white in places, dark in others; he has the lean, handsome face of an actor (which he was), and the wary, exhausted air of a factory worker (which he also was). He's 60, and though it's been more than 30 years since he directed his first film ("Return of the Secaucus 7") and almost 40 since he published his first book ("Pride of the Bimbos"), it's a familiar sight.

  11. When Joseph Pulitzer brought new touch to newspapers

    James McGrath Morris sees parallels between Gilded Age media baron Joseph Pulitzer's time and ours, pointing out that when Pulitzer (1847-1911) began to shape "yellow journalism," newspapers were going out of business and readers were bemoaning the end of journalism as they knew it. Pulitzer charged ahead, boasting that the color pages of the New York World emerged from the state-of-the-art printing presses "like rainbow tints in the spray." Indeed, the World seemed like something entirely new in the staid universe of American newspapers, perhaps as revolutionary then as the Internet today and as provocative as the practitioners of advocacy journalism on Fox.
