Some of the most refreshing online reading I do is in the Columbia Journalism Review. If you aren't familiar with this influential media review, start reading it. Nearly all of their material is available online for free (like that other magisterial publication, CSM).
In the current issue, two articles really stood out and are worth your time:
"Ties That Bind," by Laurie Kelliher
Adrian Nicole LeBlanc spent eleven years in the Bronx chronicling one extended family’s struggles with urban poverty. She felt right at home.
"Brits vs. Yanks"
So: Are the Brits right and we Americans wrong about how to practice journalism? CJR asked Michael Getler, the ombudsman at The Washinton Post, and Leonard Doyle, the foreign editor at The Independent in London, to argue this question in an e-mail debate that ran from February through April. [The strengths and weaknesses and axiomatic differences between US and European journalism are in full, witty display.]
Finally, at the risk of touting Columbia too much, a most fascinating production out of the Investigative Project at Columbia Graduate School of Journalism: A World Apart: The Face of Poverty in New York City.
