I asked every hard question I could and he answered each with tough minded aplomb. Had it been a boxing match it might have been called a draw, but maybe I flatter myself. Let’s see -- I asked him about the billions of dollars that New York was giving to Amazon and Jeff Bezos to come to Long Island City. I pointed out that New York already had a lot of people and a scarcity of housing that would only be made worse by adding 25,000 new bodies. He answered that other localities, including New Jersey, had offered even more money and he suggested that if you did the math, New York comes out way ahead. In fact, he Photo credit: Eric Korenman showed a little glimpse of Mario-type humor when he sug- gested that if New York lost in the war over Amazon, the “So who let the dogs out?” press would have criticized him for that.

There was the time, for instance, was the group he and Eric Schneiderman (remember when he said after a testy interchange, “Is that what you him?) put together to root out corruption. As that group think?” I said, “Yes sir,” to which he replied, “Who cares?” got closer to ground zero, the governor folded it. He said he could do it because he got what he wanted out of the Now that Andrew has overwhelmingly won his third term, two legislative leaders who have subsequently both been he seems to be opening the doors of the doghouse.

Andrew and I had a common friend in Drew Zambelli, who just passed. My bet is that In any event, the other day during the Roundtable panel Drew had been counseling him for a long time to show on WAMC, there was a furious knocking on the studio this better side. door. The folks in the newsroom beckoned me out to tell me breathlessly that the governor was asking to do an interview with me. So we did it on our syndicated Capi- tol Connection program and it was well received. The 2 WAMC PROGRAM GUIDE DECEMBER 2018 3 PROGRAM NOTES PATRICK GARRETT Tis the season for special programming.

    rartioter Vol. XII, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 7 9 BLACK DOME IN 1924 The Catskill Mountains have been known to white men for three hundred years and their valleys have been settled more than a cen- tury. It would seem as if all their summits ought by this time to be easily accessible by well known trails. Yet there are a dozen or more of the higher ones, above 3500 feet, which have no trails to their summits and which are climbed only by the exploring hiker, or perhaps a bear hunter in winter. I recently found another trackless peak, Black Dome, just under 4000 feet--3990 according to the Durham sheet of the United States Geological Survey--on a week-end climb in the northern Catskills. There is no trail over it, and the only paths that reach its flanks are faded out logging roads in the valleys north and south, attain- ing heights 1500 feet below its highest point. Black Dome is the central and highest of the three peaks that make up the Blackhead Mountains, running east and west, Black Head being the easternmost, then Black Dome and the last Thomas Cole. The other two are about fifty feet lower than the Dome. South of them is the valley of the East Kill, north that of Batavia Kill. North of Black Head runs a long ridge to Acra Point, then turning west to Windham High Peak. South this ridge runs through North Mountain and Stoppel Mountain to Kaaterskill Clove. Black Head is accessible by a good trail.

Journalistic Ethics and the Right-Wing Media Jason Mccoy University of Nebraska-Lincoln This paper will examine the development of modern media ethics and will show that this set of guidelines can and perhaps should be revised and improved to match the challenges of an economic and political system that has taken advantage of guidelines such as “objective reporting” by creating too many false equivalencies. This paper will end by providing a few reforms that can create a better media environment and keep the public better informed. As it was important for journalism to improve from partisan media to objective reporting in the past, it is important today that journalism improves its practices to address the right-wing media’s attack on journalism and avoid too many false equivalencies.

In a world with no internet and thus no social media, helping hikers connect with each other was a valued and needed service. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my decade or so of involvement with this club, it’s that the only thing hikers enjoy more than hiking is talking about hiking! Sharing war stories, trading bushwhack routes, and waxing euphoric about views… hikers, it would seem to me, love the replay with the like-minded as much as they love the adventure itself. But things have changed, and now that camaraderie is available in spades via social media. Leave No Trace is a national not-for-profit environmental organization on the frontlines of dealing with the good, the bad, and the ugly of managing the immense current upsurge in popularity of hiking and outdoor recreation.

    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg

    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg Shiny little platters. Not even five inches across. How could they possibly contain the soundtrack of four decades? How could the phone calls, the encounters, the danger, the desperation, the exhilaration and big, big laughs from two score years be compressed onto a handful of CDs? If you’ve lived with NPR, as so many of us have for so many years, you’ll be astonished at how many of these reports and conversations and reveries you remember—or how many come back to you (like familiar songs) after hearing just a few seconds of sound. And you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve missed—loyal as you are, you were too busy that day, or too distracted, or out of town, or giving birth (guess that falls under the “too distracted” category). Many of you have integrated NPR into your daily lives; you feel personally connected with it. NPR has gotten you through some fairly dramatic moments. Not just important historical events, but personal moments as well. I’ve been told that a woman’s terror during a CAT scan was tamed by the voice of Ira Flatow on Science Friday being piped into the dreaded scanner tube. So much of life is here. War, from the horrors of Vietnam to the brutalities that evanescent medium—they came to life, then disappeared. Now, of Iraq. Politics, from the intrigue of Watergate to the drama of the Anita on these CDs, all the extraordinary people and places and sounds Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy.

    The Fox/Sky Takeover

    THE FOX/SKY TAKEOVER WHY A PHASE TWO REFERRAL ON BROADCASTING STANDARDS IS NEEDED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC INTEREST 14 JULY 2017 1 Introduction The Secretary of State’s minded-to decision not to refer the 21st Century Fox bid for Sky on Broadcasting Standards relies on an Ofcom assessment which is incomplete and seriously flawed. This submission exposes these limitations and flaws, including that: ● Ofcom was willing to ignore significant evidence and accept assurances from Fox and the Murdoch Family Trust at face value ● Ofcom accepted a new compliance process as evidence that Fox is committed to Broadcasting Standards, but has failed to proactively ensure it is effective. Fox is currently broadcasting materials that break the Standard. ● Ofcom has failed to fully investigate a range of material concerns, including Fox’s UK broadcasts, the experience of Sky Australia after it was taken over by Fox, and a corporate governance failure at News America Marketing that resulted in financial settlements significantly higher than those paid for phone hacking. This submission additionally presents new evidence on the issues reviewed by Ofcom, including: ● Continued breaches of UK Broadcasting Standards by Fox News since it implemented its new compliance policy on 15th May 2017 ● Biased and inflammatory coverage at Sky Australia, which Fox took over fully last December ● The pervasive effects of slanted coverage by Fox which Ofcom should have considered, particularly in light of their statement that “Sky News is a trusted voice for those who use it”1 ● The News America Marketing scandal which sheds significant light on the Murdoch Family Trust’s approach to corporate governance.
