why do i think the newspapers then report differently from today's news? m here in ireland reading every paper just in case. i will move ahead. the lacies lived in cottage and palace. in 1848 dozens of families left cottage and the adjoining towns of pad ox, dogs town and palace. i find no mentions of evictions in the newspaper. 731 reported people the largest eviction of a town land in one day happened not 20 miles from cottage and palace in april of 1849. the story had one short paragraph about it in the paper. could it be that most evictions did not make it to the newspaper unless someone died? in the news of january 19th 1848, judith was ejected off a small farm by the landlords james and john parker. she wandered in want without shelter and entered her former abode on the 18th of august last. for this forceable possession shes tried and sentenced to 6 months confinement which punishment of and died of natural causes. eventually i find mention of the easterly of conwell evicting tenants in the near by town land. september 13, 1848 the newspaper says on

in the last few years, the newspaper suffered growing financial difficulties. n june, it was on the brink of insolvency when an unusual trio of buyers stepped in. president sarkozy openly opposed the bid and now the controversy over the takeover has grown. joining me now from paris is sylvie kauffman, the executive editor of "le monde" and i am pleased to have her on this broadcast. thank you. >> thank you, good evening. >> rose: what remains to be done for this to be a deal? >> right now the future owners are in negotiations with the management of "le monde". actually, lawyers are talking to their lawyers are talking to our lawyers about new rules of governance, what will be the future of the paper, new financial structures of the company. they're going through all these details, and with a target of closing the deal by late september. >> rose: how will this newspaper change once this deal is done? >> well, the biggest change, of course, is the ownership. up to now, "le monde" was owned by a big number of shareholders, none of which had a strong maturity. 00 an

[typewriter clacking] >> the courier was the black national newspaper. it was the most respected by both white and black. >> pittsburgh courier, in a sense then, was sort of in a class by itself. it's very different from the other national african-american newspapers. it was sui generis, very special, very different, and very important. [typewriter clacking] >> the courier was one of the best things that could have ever happened to the black race. >> the people who were involved in the courier, and not only the higher-ups who made the paper possible but the writers, the reporters, the runners, they were all very, very sweet, decent, highly professional people, and what they did was run a national paper. >> ♪ pittsburgh ♪ is my city >> it is indeed a privilege and a delight to be standing here on what i consider hallowed ground, because this is where the old pittsburgh courier stood. >> female narrator: on a september day in 2004, a group of people gathered in pittsburgh to dedicate a historical marker for the pittsburgh courier. >> and when you came upsta

even before the newspapers started to have trouble, even before the networks had trouble, we were a very myopic, self-fused country, and we still really largely are, thinking about--mostly concerned about what's happening inside of america. and i think that especially that's exacerbated by the tenor of our times today--worrying about the economy--and, to some degree, that's understandable. but the reality is that not only is the internet causing these major news organizations to have to change the way they do things, the internet is going to change the way all of us do things. you know, my daughter is going to be able to speak to someone in china, and through goggle translate or some other tool, be able to buy something from her directly. or somebody in china or some other place directly, be able to communicate. the walls of our nation, the edges of our nation, are going to become more sieve-like, and as a result of that, every one of us is going to need to be more smart globally. >> the question is, how is the public served? in all my years at cnn, even there where there was a huge comm

the "st. petersburg times" newspapers. they have a lot of fun things, too, like the truthometer, the obameter that answers the call that president obama made during the campaign of wanting to be held accountable, the flipometer that monitors the flip-flopping of politicians, and they also monitoreporters and pundits. they give them ratings of "barely true," "half true," "totally true," and the "liar, liar, pants on fire" award. >> [laughter] >> politifact--another good site that helps you sort out the truth in american politics. frank? >> thanks, sonya. sam? >> all of the ability to go various places to find information--you never had that before. >> right. >> never. it's just a quantity that's unimaginable. how can anyone go just to politico? >> i want to read something very quickly to you. this was written by michael wolff in "vanity fair" about politico. a lot of great things have been written about politico, and, sam, i'm gonna ask you to respond to it. "at politico's level of specificity, there may be no room for a gen

our website, the newspaper. all those things that they do so adeptly. once that is approved by you, in most cases, there is a little bit of silence on the out reach front. if there are additional tweaks to conceptual design, as you look closer to detailed design, occasionally, there is a need for another public meeting, which the stakeholders who were part of the previous meetings would be notified, usually via e-mail, and that meeting take place. then, we usually have a ground breaking. we invite all the stakeholders, try to publicize that to the media, let people know what to expect. ben, go to construction. in construction, obviously, we come to the commission for an award of contract. again, that goes through the notification process of the commission. we also send a notice to the people who attended the conceptual design meeting, some of the 500-foot radius, but the people who actually participate in the process gave us their e- mail addresses. we usually talk to supervisors' offices throughout this project, but we always reach out to them and ask f

>> i read all the national newspapers. ere are certain magazines across my desk for today that i looked at. >> do you have a place that does the best job? >> oh, nothing particularly stands out. i am not oblivious about these things. i almost never looked up the atlantic website. >> as an editor of the book review, how much to you have to say about what in some up in the magazine? if you do not like what it would your has done, what do you do about that? >> i either cut out the parts i like. wan occasionally, it will say things that i don't think are quite right for the sum of detract from what they're saying -- they somewhat detract from what they are saying. i do not think i have ever had a writer complain about that, as long as i explained to them why. >> sometimes i think that i want to learn about the book and i learned about the reviewer. what makes a good review? >> my attitude is that people want to learn something and they want to know whether this book is worth of trading. -- of obtaining. some tended to use the b

and they are required to give notice or any major issues 10 days in the newspapers. it is not even major issues. any action item. any major land use policy measures 10 days before. and if it is not noticed, it continues. i would suggest that one of the ways to improve out reach is to have a database of neighborhood organizations and community organizations and use that. either have them sign up or perhaps all the funding departments. this perhaps goes beyond, but better to over notify. and e-mail is not very expensive. the two major issues, what comes to mind is the rfp for the open space -- i think it was peace plaza, union square. we did not find out until on tuesday that on a thursday there was an action item. i think it is important that you over notify. 500 -- five days of noticing is not sufficient. thank you. >> good afternoon. i apologize. i got here late because i thought the meeting was 4:00. anyway, i want to comment -- >> back out reach. >> very bad. nobody lets us know. --bad outreach. >> very bad. nobody lets us know. anyway, i'm glad they're recommended

there's so much going on down there that is not in the news or in newspapers. commend the president of mexico really trying to stop the cartels. if there's one thing we should probably be doing more this would be assisting the mexican officials in combating the drug trade. >> -- they will not be stopped by a virtual wall. they will be stopped because someone steps up and stops them. i don't say that you have to shoot them but you should have the common sense to go out and catch them if you see them on camera. >> we need more personnel on the camera. we need to stop people. we need to remove them back to their own country. i have no argument about that. >> [inaudible] passed a budget for the va. you all were heading home and i was catching a flight, i was catching the 1 after you. the medal of honor association took a bunch of us from the hospital and they threw a big banquet for us. there are veterans out here now that are waiting for their disabilities that cannot work. i think that there va is taking their time and people are taken out of their houses because

in the end, last week there was an editor with the newspaper, and the it spokesman admitted they only have a certain amount of threat. thank you very much. >> thank you. next person, please state your name. >> i am happy to say they are located where they are. you have my wife's 50th birthday. i find the owners to be very friendly. i would just like to say i am glad the entertainment commission is working with them to make the venue a safe place. i think they want that. as far as a safety issue, i think the court could do a lot better by regulating traffic. >> thank you very much. >> i am one of the entertainers hired at jelly's. i want you to know it is a wonderful place for a musician to come out. there is not much pay, but it is the enjoyment of going out there and being able to give employment to my musicians. i am work at the morning, so it is not along venue. i have my wife, and my kids just started coming, and they love it. they are making a lot of changes, and they have already got where not to cross. they are doing everything they can to stay up to code. it is a family atmosp

in the run-up to the election, there is little space for critical voices. two independent newspapers have been suspended. have fled the country. >> if you are independent of the government, they see you as a negative journalist, as a person who is worth death. >> that is not what david cameron saw. he visited the country before he was elected. they have been impressed with what they have seen. a health system, for example, that is the envy of many african countries. these children are being vaccinated for free. in a few years, they will go on to free primary education, all done with the help of donor money that is being used well. that is why britain is rwanda's biggest foreign backer. in the years after the genocide, foreign donors flocked to help rebuild the country. there was an unwritten understanding -- development first, democracy later. now there is plenty of evidence of development, but finding evidence of progress towards democracy is getting harder and harder. many opposition supporters are afraid to talk, but i met one who was prepared to speak to me. he says he was arrest

because the content is considered secret. while newspapers produce provocative stories, the pressure is on the alc, not to push it through. south africa's remaining openness is on the line. >> in south africa schools have been closed and many hospitals banned as more than one million public sector workers were called out on strike because of pay. unions were seeking 8.4%, with police likely to join in. >> striking in south africa is a well rehearsed ritual. patients at this hospital were left without care as health workers picketed outside. over one million employees were called out on strike. >> and for that reason, that's why i went out for strike. >> schools very worse hit. pupils were locked out of classrooms after the teachers rejected the government's offer of a 7% wage increase. >> this is why we did strike, because of public service below (inaudible) and this is the reason why we are making the truth now. >> for parents though, it's a time of worry. the teachers say their strike is indefinite. while graduating students are supposed to

last week we heard in the newspaper that the reassignment of officers involved in the vicious and dangerous dog unit and concerned about possible closure of the unit. the community was outraged. we were angry, we were worried, and upset. i have since spoken with the chief and commissioner hammer, and other people. it appeared there was some kind of misunderstanding over what was happening. i was very glad to hear from the chief that there is a lot of support for the unit, the vicious and dangerous dogs unit. this is really a model for the community. it is one of the department's success stories and community leading at its best. at the first signs of tregs aggression, which this unit has largely pioneered, has been githe quite successful. there is a lot of community support for this unit, and that's crucial for this and other units. right now, if there arefully major changes, he might obviously lose that support. i wonder if everybody realizes the importance of the dog court and the unit. there are a lot of early intervention things that are done. i would be happy to talk to any and all of

pillar from the newspaper, david from uncle vito's pizza, maggie baxter from abc channel 7. i must turn the page. deputy chief antonio para, san francisco police department, lynn bruney, director of consumer marketting for the san francisco convention and visitors bureau and wes tyler, general manager, chancellor hotel on union square and president of the union square association. let's hear it for all those judges, ladies and gentlemen. now, these judges have a very, very difficult job. they have to rate the competitors. each bell ringer will be judged on rhythm, originality, and style. today we're going to find out who has the it factor and before the amateur competition stuff starts, i'd like to bring up a former bell-ringing champion, mr. carl payne, ladies and gentlemen. not one, not two, not three, 10-time bell-ringing champion. the only bell-ringing champion who is even close to this would be mr. byron cobb, who has five wins. and buddy, my second husband, what's the secret to winning? >> stay on god's good side. >> ah, that sounds good. now what we're going to do is a

that was part of the reason he was released from a scottish jail and allowed to return to libya. a year laerkts he's still alive. >> reporter: this weekend, british newspapers collecting the latest developments on al ma grau he's release. most 5 this centers around the doctors. peter k., the prison doctor who contributed toward the release had no special knowledge. he played a key in the medical evidence collected but the newspaper has determined he was not in any specialist register. another newspaper the snund times, says the four specialists who were responsible for al megrahi's care were not consulted at all. all four of the men who included personal oncologists, a urologist and the doctor who first diagnosed his cancer said they had not signed any prognosis that statd al megrahi only had four months to live. a leading cancer specialist for one of thely doctors consulted has said today if he knew his opinion would have been treated as fact he would have been more vague about how long elmegrahi would live. >> al megrahi is the only person to have been jailed for the pan am flight over the small town of lockerby. 259 people were killed. mostly americans.

of wiki leaks as opposed to giving it directly to the newspaper like the new york times or the guardian or is there anything significant about that do you think well it will have to see i mean it could be a pattern of it if he could just as well just as easily have given it to a newspaper and it would depend on the person he probably was attracted to because i had heard previously use that material about an american helicopter gunships shooting firing in an ambush in iraq and some civilians were killed in that incident and maybe he felt that our side would would help him more. it looks like what's what's incredible about this is that the military who are who are now saying . is putting informants in danger which he may have done the times and the guardian and we were very were very careful spiegel to take out the names of informants probably in the original documents there are names of informants the military are incredibly curious to put this stuff on almost virtually on line within their own system apparently the all of this could have come from one soldier who obtained. when i was in

father had been unsuccessful in keeping the newspapers from others. she practiced less and less. germany is not poland said my father. there are no contacts in berlin. >> he's a crazy man when i hear him on the radio. i can barely understand the german he's speaking he's an austrian, no, but his accent is fake. the geshel speaks perfectly. he must be the envy of singers every where. my father reached across his dinner plate and laid a hand on hers. she snatched it away. you know nothing. now you have butter on your sleeve. we neither mentioned our absent guest nor the chair awaiting her except on one occasion. father reported [inaudible] called a certain gog an a good deal. princess never spoke of money and bought paintings without inquiring about the price she left those details to her lawyer. snobby old cow is hamy father called her. i felt sorry for rose with father it was easy to make a mistake and not know it. you could sense it but not identify the crime much the second week of rose's apprenticeship the empty fourth chair disappeared. thank god you stop wearing that wretch e

it was on the front page of the newspaper. >> i held housing fairs in my district -- and not subprime housing affairs. get the facts straight. >> you just took the end of the time. good job. we're going to take a quick break to thank our sponsors. we'll be right back. stay with us. >> you are watching the only statewide debate between the candidates for u.s. senate. let's continue now with the conversation. now we will ask questions of each candidate, not necessarily both of you. >> have a question from of the war. she mailed me this question. "how did the candidates plan to improve funding for education? how will you help teachers get a decent pay raise for all the work they do?" the stimulus money that saved teachers' jobs will eventually run out, so this is a long-term problem that people in congress will have to help fix. mr. meek? >> congress is moving to approve a senate measure that i have already voted for to help save teachers' jobs here in florida. many to meet -- many commmmunities are going through tough times. we should not livent the abilities of teachers to reach studen

the story. we did not have an insurance reporter before katrina. now two newspapers have two of the best in the country because they have had to learn how that works and to tell the story in a professional way. we have learned to do that. we thought five years out we would be at one place, and we are not there yet. >> it is not as raw as five years ago. you can see little clumps of people in the back to ruche -- baton rouge weeping or talking on to their sons very intensely. -- their cell phones very intensely. a lot of these old, remembered fears are right at the surface. a lot of us, myself included, just a little token of this is that i would not dream of going on a weeklong vacation in the summer anymore, nor what my wife. we want to be closed by -- we want to be close by, because there is some warning that has come loose that never existed before. >> historically, we know a big hurricane will hit new orleans again. will it be different? >> if the exact trajectory of katrina happened again, i think it is fair to say that we are better protected. the water from th

years ago people relied on the newspapers to read about their news for the day then we saw a shift to t.v. where people could see and hear about their news for the day and then miss the internet chain said ah. you're no longer have to wait for the news to find you you can go and find it. but according to professor frank says no not all change is good change i think there are a lot of opportunities that are presented by the twenty four seven bloggers for online digital social media. but i also think that they present real problems one of them is you know it could well be that we are all learning attention deficit disorder from this so what are the dangers of people not fully paying attention to a story to only scratching the surface of an issue if we don't engage the complexity of an of issues like health care climate change energy crisis national debt international trade immigration and on and on it goes if people are only reacting from the tweet and one hundred forty characters if they're only reacting from what they think they know and merely reinforce on the blogosphere that they v
