KENNEDY IS YOUNGER THAN MARKEY. WHAT ELSE?

Written by IRENE MONROE Posted February 25, 2020 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Editorial, NEWS+OPINIONS

The first debate, for me, didn’t demonstrate a compelling reason to replace Markey—to swap an older straight white male for a younger one.

DIRTY OLD BOSTON: DELI SANDWICH HISTORY

Written by JIM BOTTICELLI Posted June 5, 2019 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dirty Old Boston

Of them all, many would argue that Jack and Marion’s in Brookline served as the local standard-bearer of quality New York-style delicatessen fare with service to match.

THE ‘BIG DIG’ BITES BACK

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted August 2, 2017 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Media Farm

It was surprising, if not baffling, to watch broadcast news icon Emily Rooney blast the feature on Beat the Press, a local weekly media show that she hosts on the Boston PBS station WGBH.

WHY ARE SO FEW ‘HIGH SCHOOL QUIZ SHOW’ CONTESTANTS BLACK?

PUFF POLICE: CONTRARY TO COMMISSIONER’S CLAIMS, BPD MASTURBATED BY MEDIA

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted November 2, 2015 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Media Farm

To show the extent to which his department is actually showered with positive press, we plugged “Boston Police Department” into the Google machine, and parsed all of the puffery from just October into four distinct categories.

COUNTERING COUNTER-SURVEILLANCE

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted August 18, 2015 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

Mainstream tools have looked the other way, the entire time enabling our police state to metastasize, batons to crack, and thousands of surveillance cameras to scan both cars and crowds in spite of ongoing attempts to outlaw the recording of cops.

ALL TSARNAEV, ALL THE TIME

Written by DIG STAFF Posted January 13, 2015 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Media Farm, NEWS+OPINIONS

Some coverage last week rang more like an L.L. Bean Catalog description than notes on a federal bombing trial.

MASS HAS A NEW PARTY (AND NOT JUST THE ONE REPUBLICANS ARE THROWING RIGHT NOW)

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted November 5, 2014 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

I didn't hang at Evan Falchuk's campaign office on Tremont Street past midnight just for kicks this morning. Nor was I only there for the beer, much of which was being sipped and spilled in celebration.
