The New York Times has an editor problem
Like a hungover drunk who swears “Never again,” the Times promises vigilance on anonymous sources every time it gets burned, but drinks again. Reporters will not quit on their own. This is an editor problem. It’s up to @deanbaquet and cadre to stop…

The American Revolution isn’t finished
A more perfect union. A more perfected union. A work in progress. Here’s a fundamental truth about America that I haven’t spent much time pondering lately: much of the genius of the constitution and the governance it creates is that the process is…

Post McClatchy: The Anchorage Daily News enters a new era
The news that McClatchy is selling the Anchorage Daily News to Alice Rogoff’s Alaska Dispatch cannot have arrived with more impact on anybody that it did for me. I spent 45 years in Alaska, 30 years at McClatchy and 28 years at the Daily News.…
