  • Dear Colleagues, the Sunday Edition of the Baltimore Sun Carries an Article Focusing on How Maryland Hospitals and the State's
    Dear Colleagues, The Sunday edition of the Baltimore Sun carries an article focusing on how Maryland hospitals and the state’s Health Services Cost Review Commission manage uncompensated care. The report, the first in a series, contains descriptions of individuals struggling to pay medical bills and questions collection processes for unpaid bills, as well as the HSCRC’s rate setting policies and regulations. Unfortunately, the newspaper’s story fails to report all of the facts or to put the facts into proper perspective. We prepared appropriate responses to the Sun’s editors about this, and if necessary, will respond to subsequent articles in the series. Details on our position can be found at http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/mediaII/uncompensated_care_info/index.html. Meanwhile, I want to reassure you that The Johns Hopkins Health System and its hospitals are extremely proud of the quality and compassion of our clinical care, charity care, financial assistance services, and responsible and ethical debt collection policies. Sometimes administrative errors are made, as in the newspaper’s front-page example. In these relatively few instances, we apologize and rectify the situation. Over the years, Johns Hopkins has committed substantial resources to helping patients arrange for coverage or pay their bills if they do not have insurance or other means to pay. We spend millions each year to provide financial counselors who work directly with patients to ascertain if they qualify for assistance. When patients have the means to pay but fail to do so after repeated notifications by the hospital, the unpaid bills may be referred to an outside collection agency.

  • THE LYNCHING of SIDNEY RANDOLPH (B.1868-1874, D.1896)
    THE LYNCHING OF SIDNEY RANDOLPH (b.1868-1874, d.1896) Overview written by Sarah Hedlund, Librarian/Archivist: Montgomery History February 2021: all content copyright reserved Montgomery History, 2021. Note: newspaper reporters often made errors in identifying local people, especially in details of first names and relationships. Crucial factual errors or assumptions in these publications that have been disproved through more reliable sources are called out in this narrative text or in the endnotes; however, occasional inconsistencies regarding names that occur in one-off articles are not necessarily noted. These discrepancies may only stand out when directly compared to the sourced article(s). We encourage readers to cross-check information with the Biographies of Named Individuals page associated with Randolph, where some of this confusion is straightened out with the descriptions of family members and other relationships, based on sources other than newspaper columns. The Crime In the early morning of May 25, 1896 in Gaithersburg, an unknown intruder entered the Buxton home and attacked its sleeping residents, striking four family members in the head with an axe. The family consisted of Richard Lemuel Buxton (age 36), recently elected town commissioner who worked as a miller, his wife, James Anna (called “Teeny” due to her small stature)1, daughters Maud (16) and Sadie (7), and son Carroll. According to various accounts from Buxton and his wife given in the first few hours, Richard was hit first and fell out of bed; then Teeny was hit. They both heard the assailant cross the hall and hit the two daughters. Richard fumbled with his revolver, but it misfired into the floor.

The rioting resulted in millions of dollars of property damage and injuries to citizens. In addition, more than 200 police officers from the region who responded to assist in the defense of life and property were injured — several severely. Both during and after the riots, Baltimore City Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge #3 received many reports from members who were deployed to the defensive efforts, stating that they lacked basic riot equipment, training, and, as events unfolded, direction from leadership. The officers repeatedly expressed concern that the passive response to the civil unrest had allowed the disorder to grow into full scale rioting. Recommendation 1.3 of The President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing states “law enforcement agencies should establish a culture of transparency and accountability in order to build public trust and legitimacy.

  • Feeding the Beast
    Online Investigations Trends in Crime Journalism: Feeding the Beast Spot News Comes Faster Than Ever, But Could It Kill Credibility? By David J. Krajicek and Debora H. Wenger Criminal Justice Journalists January 2013 A project of the John Jay College Center on Media, Crime and Justice and Criminal Justice Journalists 1 | P a g e There is a “new normal” in the spot news business. Breaking-news journalism—linked inextricably to criminal justice beats—is changing, driven by unrelenting micro-deadlines and financial pressures that have whittled staffs and forced editors and producers to rethink their newsroom structures and news-gathering processes. We spoke with more than a dozen journalists, most of them veterans of crime and court beats, to get a snapshot of the evolving coverage. Many gave a sobering assessment of the new realities of covering crime. Most agreed that breaking news coverage has grown more stressful and less accurate due to the profound pressures of posting minute-to-minute updates on social media and websites. “The news cycle is now 24/7 due to the Internet,” said Amanda Lamb, a 20-year crime reporting veteran at WRAL-TV in Raleigh, N.C. “We no longer work for the next show. We work for the next five minutes on the Web.” John Strang, an assignment editor with WFLA-TV in Tampa, called it “feeding the beast.” At newspapers, “You’re going to see a functional separation between spot news and narrative writing,” said Andy Rosen, crime and courts editor for the Baltimore Sun. He continued: If newspapers are going to create a unique product, we need to emphasize that we create stories that are interesting and exciting to read.

  • Public Sector Pay Inequality Dynamics in Baltimore, Boston, and New York City
    Public Sector Pay Inequality Dynamics in Baltimore, Boston, and New York City Matthew E. Kahn Mac McComas Vrshank Ravi 21st Century Cities Initiative at Johns Hopkins University October 28th, 2019 Executive Summary In recent years, major cities have published high quality data on their payroll’s annual salaries and overtime earnings. Paying employees is a major expenditure for cities. In 2018, the city of Baltimore spent $804 million on 11,658 employees, Boston spent $909 million on 8,854 employees, and New York City spent $16 billion on 195,194 employees (excluding teachers and part-time workers). These large sums of expenditure raise questions of who is earning this income and whether the earnings inequality documented in the private sector is readily apparent in the urban public sector. We study trends in public sector pay inequality in Baltimore City, Boston, and New York City. We observe large differentials in pay at a point in time and over time. Pay inequality has increased from 2011 to 2018 in Boston and Baltimore. The ratio of total earnings in 2011 between the 90th percentile and the 50th percentile in Boston was 1.71 while in 2018 this disparity grew to 1.85. In Baltimore, this ratio increased from 1.6 to 1.79. In New York City, the ratio grew only slightly from 2.61 to 2.63. In Baltimore and Boston, police and fire department employees experienced larger gains in total pay at the top of the total pay distribution than at the bottom, resulting in rising pay inequality. Overtime earnings contributed to pay inequality in all three cities.
