    I know a lot about the NYT but didn’t know much about Arthur Sulzberger Jr.—until today, when he spoke at UT-Austin. He’s passionate, proud, funny & candid. He even shared his real feelings about ‘The Post,’ the film about the Washington Post’s publishing of the Pentagon Papers.

    Simeon Booker, pioneering journalist for Jet and Ebony, is dead at age 99. Booker's coverage of the 1955 lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till during the boy's visit to Money, Mississippi, raised the nation's consciousness about lynchings & civil rights.

    I couldn't wait to see the new journalism film 'The Post' because our director R.B. Brenner consulted on it, but now that I've read this review which says "Steven Spielberg's 'The Post' dazzles with a terrific cast," I'm counting the days until it opens.
