Dan Nexon of Duck of Minerva has an article in APSR. Good work, Dan.
Elizabeth has an excellent post on women and part time work. "The Washington Post today had a front-page story on a recent poll that found that 60 percent of working mothers said that part-time work would be the ideal situation for them. This is an increase of 12 percent since 1997." I want to write a follow up piece to her post when I get a minute.
For those of us who are fascinated by media and technology, a must read is the Monday business section of the Times. This Monday had a wealth of goodies, including this article that young people aren’t reading newspapers. Yes, it’s sort of a "no-duh" article, but they back it up with some interesting statistics from media scholar, Thomas Patterson. “My sense is that newspapers in their traditional form are not going to
be able to recapture this audience,” said Professor Patterson. “What’s
happened over time is that we have become more of a viewing nation than
a reading nation, and the Internet is a little of both. My sense is
that, like it or not, the future of news is going to be in the
electronic media, but we don’t really know what that form is going to
look like.”

thanks Laura. I just got lucky in the peer review process.

Actually, we do pretty much know what the form is going to look like: the NYT or TPM or WaPo or HuffPo pages.
What we don’t know yet is who will pay for it, whether that will support journalism as a profession, and if it does, whether our communities will be well served. GoogleAds won’t be sending anybody’s kids to college.
