Other Posts and Articles From This Past Month:
My Current Media Diet:
Newspapers I’m Reading
Financial Times : Why the “pink paper”? The FT began printing on pink paper in 1893 to differentiate itself from its main competitor, the Financial News, which was similarly named. To me, this paper stands alone in its scope of news coverage globally covering not only financial news but politics and cultural issues like food.
Washington Post: The post is an institution in Washington as much as Congress and the President. Recently purchased by Jeff Bezos of Amazon, it still struggles to balance good, experienced journalism with cost cutting measures like many newspapers around the country. To me, it’s the direct source of news about politics that I value the most.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution :(AJC) This is the voice of the south. With Atlanta becoming more politically important its journalism has taken on a broader more nationwide audience. This is also my hometown newspaper. Its not the New York Times, but it does an excellent job in accomplishing its mission to keep the people of Atlanta informed with a stong sence of integrity.
New York Post : If you want to listen to what New Yorkers are saying, read the Post. Unlike the “Grey Lady” New York Times, the Post is the hometown newspaper. Every inch of New York is covered from the often sensationalized front page to a heathy does a “ politics and gossip” with Cindy Adams, and sports. Yes, a real sports section. For me its a little unorganized, messy but fun way to catch up with New York.

Its September! Here are a few links I’ve been loving:
When the temps drop, I think of baking. There is no better classic recipe than the Rustic Apple Tart from Jacques Pepin. Published in Food and Wine magazine, its one of my favorite recipes of all time. I use it year round with other types of fruit as well.
