A media holiday wish

December 6, 2017 by William A. Babcock Leave a Comment

Opinion By William A. Babcock The New York Times is to be commended for its in-depth, ongoing reporting of sex abuse. Beginning with its reporting of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults on women and following up with stories of a string of similar activities by men in high places, the Times has done a great service to all women and men as well. The Washington Post, too, … [Read more...] about A media holiday wish

Xi and the media: strange bedfellows

October 25, 2017 by William A. Babcock 2 Comments

By William A. Babcock Opinion China’s 19th Party Congress has concluded. As expected, Xi Jinping was confirmed for a second five-year term. But just as his re-election was expected, China’s media coverage of the event was predictable.

RIP the Cleveland Indians and Chief Wahoo

November 8, 2016 by William A. Babcock 1 Comment

A new age is dawning, clearly. The Cleveland Indians have won their third Major League Baseball World Series. First time was 1920; second time 1948. (World Series losses in 1954, 1995 and 1997 now seem but bad memories.) Time to celebrate. And the Cleveland Indians might best celebrate by turning over a new leaf and shedding their name and logo. No team starting up in … [Read more...] about RIP the Cleveland Indians and Chief Wahoo
