Widgets Weekly: the Art of Covering Congressional Minutiae
Widgets Weekly: The Art of Covering Congressional Minutiae To compile this chart of trade press organizations, The Politico reviewed the lists of all credentialed print media that covered the 109th Congress. The lists are compiled by the House and Senate press galleries. (The list for the current Congress will not be available for several months.) For the purposes of this list, we defined the trade press narrowly, excluding congressional newspapers such as The Hill and Roll Call. (We also would have excluded ourselves, but The Politico began publishing during this session of Congress.) We also excluded most of the financial press unless the publication was tailored to bond traders or another very specific sector. Finally, we included what's referred to as the newsletter press, such as BNA. Please let us know in the comments section - or write directly to us mailto: [email protected] - if we excluded one that should be included or included one we should have left out.

POLITICAL REPORTING in the AGE of INFOTAINMENT Melissa
POLITICAL REPORTING IN THE AGE OF INFOTAINMENT Melissa Oribhabor Jennifer Rowe, Committee Chair August 2014 Introduction The effects of infotainment have been felt by the news industry since politicians started appearing on talK shows and comedy shows, hoping to humanize themselves to the voting public. One of the earliest examples was in 1968 when presidential candidate Richard Nixon appeared on “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In” (Xenos 198). Even earlier than that, John F. Kennedy appeared on the “The Tonight Show” with Jack Paar in 1960. But with the 24-hour news cycle and the Internet drawing the public away from traditional forms of news, infotainment has become even more prevalent during the past 30 years. Infotainment can be seen easily on television, with programs such as “The Daily Show” and CNN’s “RidicuList” with Anderson Cooper; however, infotainment in terms of print journalism has not been studied as in- depth. This research not only looks at infotainment in print journalism but more specifically how it affects political journalists. Literature Review Moy, Xenos and Hess in their 2005 article “Communication and Citizenship: Mapping the Political Effects of Infotainment” define infotainment as the convergence of news and entertainment. The paper states that in recent years news programs started developing more elements of entertainment, and entertainment programs started to disseminate the news. The term “infotainment” is largely used in reference to entertainment programs that have elements of news (Moy et. al. 2005, 113). “Soft news” and “infotainment” are often used interchangeably in research on this topic. Soft news includes sensationalized stories, human-interest stories, and stories that focus more on entertainment over serious hard news content (Jebril et. -
The Speech Or Debate Clause and the Unenforceable Stock Act
Copyright 2014 by Anna Fodor Printed in U.S.A. Vol. 108, No. 2 Notes and Comments CONGRESSIONAL ARBITRAGE AT THE EXECUTIVE’S EXPENSE: THE SPEECH OR DEBATE CLAUSE AND THE UNENFORCEABLE STOCK ACT Anna Fodor ABSTRACT—In early 2012, Congress passed the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act. The STOCK Act explicitly prohibits members of Congress and their staff from trading on material, nonpublic information received because of their status. The Act leaves enforcement of its provisions to the Executive Branch. However, the Speech or Debate Clause and recent case law interpreting the Clause’s legislative privilege create roadblocks to the Executive’s ability to effectively enforce the Act against a member of Congress. Given the obstacles to effective enforcement, the STOCK Act creates a risk-free opportunity for political gain by the Legislative Branch while positioning the Executive to pursue hamstrung prosecutions. Congress’s arbitrage opportunity thus comes at the expense of the Executive and threatens the balance and separation of powers. This Note argues that if legislative privilege is understood as an institutional privilege of Congress as a body rather than an individual privilege of each member of Congress, the courts may recognize a congressional waiver of all members’ legislative privilege as applied to the STOCK Act. Such a waiver would restore the ability of the Executive to effectively enforce the STOCK Act and would alleviate separation of powers concerns. AUTHOR—J.D.

Jonathan Rauch
Jonathan Rauch Jonathan Rauch, a contributing editor of National Journal and The Atlantic, is the author of several books and many articles on public policy, culture, and economics. He is also a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution, a leading Washington think-tank. He is winner of the 2005 National Magazine Award for columns and commentary and the 2010 National Headliner Award for magazine columns. His latest book is Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America, published in 2004 by Times Books (Henry Holt). It makes the case that same-sex marriage would benefit not only gay people but society and the institution of marriage itself. Although much of his writing has been on public policy, he has also written on topics as widely varied as adultery, agriculture, economics, gay marriage, height discrimination, biological rhythms, number inflation, and animal rights. His multiple-award-winning column, “Social Studies,” was published in National Journal (a Washington-based weekly on government, politics, and public policy) from 1998 to 2010, and his features appeared regularly both there and in The Atlantic. Among the many other publications for which he has written are The New Republic, The Economist, Reason, Harper’s, Fortune, Reader’s Digest, U.S. News & World Report, The New York Times newspaper and magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Post, Slate, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Public Interest, The Advocate, The Daily, and others. Rauch was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and graduated in 1982 from Yale University. -
