In addition to a distinguished news- paper career, which itself merits this award, Betsy is enshrined in history as a leading member of the group of brave and intrepid women who challenged The New York Times for its treatment of female employees. That effort, which developed into a precedent-setting 1974 class action suit, Elizabeth Boylan, et. al. vs. The New York Times, reverberated far beyond the confines of the paper’s offices, then lo- cated on West 43rd Street. Publishers and editors around the country began thinking that if the august Times could be accused of treating its women staffers improperly, perhaps they had better re-evaluate their own behavior. Slowly, and sometimes painfully, the tide began to turn toward greater equality, a movement that still hasn’t been fully achieved. Betsy and her six other named plaintiffs deserve appre- ciation from the generations of women journalists past, present and future, who have benefited, and will benefit, from their courageous action.

  • Crimes Against Nature Is Ultimately About the Corrosive Effect of Corporate Corruption on Our Core American Values—Free-Market Capitalism and Democracy
    PDF Page No: 1 PDF Page No: 2 Inside Front/Back Cover In this powerful and far-reaching indictment of George W. Bush’s White House, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the country’s most prominent environmental attorney, charges that this administration has taken corporate cronyism to such unprecedented heights that it now threatens our health, our national security, and democracy as we know it. In a headlong pursuit of private profit and personal power, Kennedy writes, George Bush and his administration have eviscerated the laws that have protected our nations air, water, public lands, and wildlife for the past thirty years, enriching the president’s political contributors while lowering the quality of life for the rest of us. Kennedy lifts the veil on how the administration has orchestrated these rollbacks almost entirely outside of public scrutiny—and in tandem with the very industries that our laws are meant to regulate, the country’s most notorious polluters. He writes of how it has deceived the public by manipulating and suppressing scientific data, intimidated enforcement officials and other civil servants, and masked its agenda with Orwellian doublespeak. He reports on how the White House doles out lavish subsidies and tax breaks to the energy barons while excusing industry from providing adequate security at the more than 15,000 chemical and nuclear facilities that are prime targets for terrorist attacks. Kennedy reveals an administration whose policies have “squandered our Treasury, entangled us in foreign wars, diminished our international prestige, made us a target for terrorist attacks, and increased our reliance on petty Middle Eastern dictators who despise democracy and are hated by their own people.” Crimes Against Nature is ultimately about the corrosive effect of corporate corruption on our core American values—free-market capitalism and democracy.

  • 2015 SPREADING the NEWS.Pdf
    Spreading the News Newsboys, Ann Arbor, Michigan,1892. I am very pleased to introduce the CUNY/New York Times in College 2015 calendar, Spreading the News, a history of journalism in the United States. Published in a time of rapid changes in the industry, it is a timely and welcome contribution to the history of our nation’s fourth estate. The Founding Fathers saw the danger of government censorship during the War for Independence and believed it important to enshrine freedom of the press into the First Amendment. The calendar explores the origins of press freedom and how it is periodically under attack, especially during times of crisis and war. The calendar will also explore how changes in society and technol- ogy have transformed how publishers, editors and journalists produce the news including the rise of the penny press, the development of radio and television, and the rise of the Internet. Media have also been powerful sources of social change. Loyalists and Patriots used colonial newspa- pers to spread their views. In 1831, William Lloyd Garrison published the Liberator to support abolitionism. In the early 20th century, muckrakers turned their focus on government corruption and the danger of corporate monopolies. More recently, Rachel Carson made Americans aware of the environmental dangers of DDT in her book Silent Spring. In the 21st cen- tury, the Internet and social media have become both sources of news and the means to build social movements. Spreading the News is the 12th calendar/website developed in a part- nership between the City University of New York and The New York Times in Education with the support of JPMorgan Chase, Produced by the LaGuardia and Wagner Archives at LaGuardia Community College, it is emblematic of CUNY’s educational mission and commitment to public service.

  • KILLING TRUTH the Lies and Legends of Bill O'reilly
    KILLING TRUTH The Lies And Legends Of Bill O’Reilly By Eric Boehlert and Media Matters for America Chapter One Self-Made Man “Here's the truth: Everything I’ve said about my reportorial career -- everything -- is true.” Bill O’Reilly, February 20, 2015. It all started with a tweet. At 5:28 PM on February 19, 2015, David Corn‟s tweet announced “Bill O'Reilly Has His Own Brian Williams Problem.” And with that, Mother Jones magazine‟s examination of O‟Reilly wartime reporting exaggerations went off like a media grenade and the Fox News host scrambled to salvage his reputation. The news arrived in the wake of the Brian Williams scandal at NBC News, in which the revelation that the longtime anchorman had exaggerated his war reporting experience eventually forced him off the air for a six-month suspension. Corn‟s new exposure of O‟Reilly‟s penchant for stretching the truth about his own journalism glory days immediately had journalism wags shaking their heads in disbelief. Given that O‟Reilly had condemned Williams for his fabrication sins, the Mother Jones story presented a nearly airtight case of public hypocrisy. Worse for O‟Reilly, Corn‟s debunking shone a spotlight on O‟Reilly‟s fondness for self-aggrandizement. Soon other, even more astonishing allegations of wrongdoing came tumbling out about O‟Reilly‟s reporting past; revelations that largely left the blustery host speechless, or at least unwilling to wage a public battle to defend his reputation. The avalanche began when Mother Jones detailed how O'Reilly had “recounted dramatic stories about his own war reporting that don't withstand scrutiny.” O‟Reilly suggested he had reported from the Falkland Islands combat zone while reporting for CBS News in 1982; but no CBS reporter had made it to the islands.
