By Arthur Alpert Across the globe, demonstrators marched and chanted and some did civil disobedience to wake the rest of us to the ill effects of climate change. That was Sunday, Sept. 21. The New York Times’ story the next day, prominently displayed, was headlined “Taking a Call for Climate Change to the Streets”. The […]

Syndicated Columnists and the Iraq War
February 21st, 2014 · No Comments · journalism
By Arthur Alpert The Albuquerque Journal just added David Ignatius as a regular columnist. I hadn’t realized the newspaper was in dire need of still another essayist who got Iraq wrong, but wait, let’s not jump to conclusions. Born to the purple, the son of a former Navy Secretary and a descendant of Cotton Mather, […]

If Only It Was That Simple

By Arthur Alpert Back in the 1990s, when I co-owned and edited Prime Time, a monthly for New Mexican seniors, I regularly spoke to civic and senior organizations on “How the News Get Shaped.” Having worked in print and broadcast news (network, local and cable) I saw how the journalism differed depending on technology, how […]

The West, Texas Explosion: A Horrific Lesson on Lax Regulatory Oversight
April 29th, 2013 · No Comments · role of government, Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier At the risk of sounding insensitive about the bombings in Boston (which would not be true), I could not help but compare, from the outset, how that event was covered by both national media and the Albuquerque Journal to the way the West, Texas fertilizer explosion was played. Because the former was […]

‘Just Propaganda’
April 30th, 2012 · No Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier Yet again, the Albuquerque Journal has published a local column “debunking” global warming. And yet again, editors gambled on the chance that another local columnist would set the record straight with a nearly point-by-point rebuttal. One did, and the Journal ran it two days after the first. Paul Krugman of The New […]

Pickles, Politics and the Journal Hip-Hop
April 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
By Arthur Alpert Rick Nathanson’s Journal feature on pickles yesterday had me salivating for the crunchy, sour treat found in excellent Jewish delis. Also, I found myself in a pickle – for the newspaper’s Wednesday, April 21 issue reminded me how fascinating the Journal remains despite management’s misuse of it.

One Goodman as Good as Another
March 12th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
By Denise Tessier Astonished. That’s the word that most accurately describes my first reaction to seeing a column by journalist Amy Goodman on the Albuquerque Journal’s editorial page Thursday morning. What initially caught my eye was seeing a woman’s picture on an editorial page column. The Journal runs so few. Even when it runs a […]
