Local newspapers are disappearing left and right. Even when they still exist, they're increasingly owned by private equity firms or subject to corporate consolidation, making them local in name only. This is a problem. It's a problem for democracy. Research has found that after private equity takes over local papers, voter turnout drops. People are more likely to vote straight ticket for the party they like, instead of voting based on local issues. Political polarization goes up. There's more corruption in government and business. And people trust the media less overall. (See Paper Cuts to learn more.)But it's not all doom and gloom. Martinsville, Indiana, population 11 thousand, has a new paper in town. It's a print newspaper. The Morgan County Correspondent. It started in August 2023. And it's doing pretty darn well. Stephen Crane is the founding editor. And publisher. And reporter. I went up to the Correspondent's offices a couple weeks ago to talk with him. He told me what happened to the newspapers in Morgan County, where Martinsville is the county seat. Martinsville had a newspaper, and so did Mooresville, in the north of the county. They still do. In theory at least. Today's headline in The Reporter-Times, which was Martinsville's city paper, is about the Princess Theatre building's new owner. The Princess Theatre is in Bloomington. Looks like most of the other articles are also about Bloomington. Stephen and I also talked about how he got into journalism – he says he had some authority issues when he was younger, and his decision to start a paper two years ago is not unconnected. We talked about the differences between locally-owned papers and corporate-owned, the experience of reading a print paper vs online, and why he doesn't care too much about attracting readers under 40.

Come il disertore di Boris Vian, i 43 autori di questa antologia, il cui titolo è un verso tratto dalla celeberrima Imagine di John Lennon, rifiutano di imbracciare ideologicamente le armi e si schierano dalla parte della pace. Storie vere e storie di pura invenzione, passati recenti e futuri distopici si intrecciano e raccontano mondi dove la guerra è sempre una sconfitta. Per tutti. «La guerra è un film di cui tutti conosciamo il finale in anteprima: morte, distruzione, povertà – spiegano gli ideatori e coordinatori dell'antologia Gabrini - Caimi perché la guerra è un affare per pochi: possiamo travestirla da guerra di religione o da operazione per “esportare la democrazia”, ma quello che muove i fili rimane l'interesse economico. Una miniera di denaro per i pochi “soliti noti” sulle macerie di nazioni distrutte e popoli piegati, come ci dimostra, ad esempio, l'Iraq trent'anni dopo quella che venne definita la prima guerra mediatica, con la TV americana CNN che trasmetteva le immagini dei bombardamenti in diretta, proiettando gli spettatori all'interno di una sorta di videogame mortale. Potremmo dilungarci a parlare di come il conflitto stia generando demenziali tifoserie da stadio sui media, dove l'unica parola negletta è “pace”, e sui viscidi metodi con cui la propaganda e la politica ci stanno portando sull'orlo del baratro, ma preferiamo dar voce ai racconti. Ce ne sono di pura invenzione e di vita vissuta. Alcuni autori hanno attinto ai ricordi di famiglia e raccontano la seconda guerra mondiale, l'ultima combattuta sul nostro territorio nazionale. Lontana nel tempo, vicina in quanto tramandata da genitori e nonni che l'hanno patita in prima persona. Sembra che, nonostante il tempo trascorso, quel conflitto ci sia ancora vicino, più di altri quali quelli nell'ex Jugoslavia o in altri Paesi: in questo gli autori che hanno partecipato all'antologia si sono dimostrati, salvo alcune eccezioni, molto “partigiani”. Ma tutti concorrono a farci sentire che cosa significa essere nel mezzo di un conflitto. Fino a un epilogo che, come in un romanzo, sancisce la fine che potrebbero fare, e farci fare, tutti i maggiori conflitti: per coincidenza, senza essersi consultati, alcuni autori hanno scritto una sequenza di racconti che porta a quell'epilogo». Oltre alla co-curatrice Viviana Gabrini, l'antologia annovera fra gli autori altri due pavesi: Novella Limite (scrittrice, drammaturga e regista) e Paolo Repossi.Pavese è anche l'artista Marco Tomasi, autore di “Caos”, il quadro riprodotto in copertina. L' antologia è dedicata ad Attilia Vicini, animatrice della vita culturale di Voghera e dell'Oltrepò Pavese: «Attilia – spiegano ancora i curatori - è la grande assente di queste pagine. Quando le abbiamo chiesto di collaborare a questa raccolta con un racconto, ha aderito con entusiasmo promettendo una storia vera accaduta nelle campagne attorno a Voghera durante l'ultimo conflitto mondiale. Purtroppo, del racconto che ci aveva promesso, Bombe e confetti,abbiamo solo il titolo e qualche stralcio. Il resto se n'è andato con lei nel giugno del ‘23».

INTERVIEW - En s'appropriant « Red Badge of Courage » de Stephen Crane qui raconte l'histoire d'Henry Fleming, ce jeune fermier de 18 ans qui s'engage sans réfléchir dans la Guerre de Sécession, Steve Cuzor adapte l'un des romans les plus emblématiques de l'histoire de la littérature américaine. Par son réalisme cru, Crane livrait dans toute son acuité le dépassement de soi de son héros confronté à l'implacable horreur de ce qui est l'une des premières guerres modernes. Grâce au génie de son trait, Steve Cuzor décrit à la perfection les tourments intérieurs du jeune soldat qui broie littéralement du noir. Un exercice de virtuosité éblouissant en ce moment aux cimaises de la Galerie Maghen à Paris dont le dessinateur nous parle dans ce podcast.

The Red Badge of Courage (1895) is a singularly unique war novel: whereas most depictions of the horrors of combat and the trauma of the battlefield are naturalistic, attempting to inflict upon the reader the violence the prose describes and terrifying us with the prospect that humans do not rise to heroic occasions, Stephen Crane's novel is impressionistic, blurring detail at the edges and giving scattershot glimpses of confusion, guilt, regret, and even envy and resentment. Through the story of Private Henry Fleming (aka "The Youth"), Red Badge is arguably the novel that best encapsulates the phrase "the fog of war," a term credited to the 19th-century military theorist Carl von Clausewitz. In this episode we explore how Crane---who was not yet born when the battle of Chancellorsville that is the setting occurred---managed to capture the experience so authentically that Union veterans assumed he had worn the blue alongside them. The novel launched its twenty-four-year-old author into the type of fame few writers experience: as a journalist, pulp writer, and celebrity observer of international conflagrations (not to mention fan of bordellos), Crane epitomized the image of the author as a globetrotting adventurer---an image only elevated to tragic irony when he died from tuberculosis in 1900.

Today's story won the O. Henry Memorial Award in 1919. World War I had just ended, and there were many military stories written at the time, as most everyone in the world had some connection to the war. Margaret Prescott Montague was a short story writer and novelist. Four of her stories were made into films in the 1920s. Winning the O. Henry Memorial Award is the most prestigious of her accomplishments. She lived from 1878 – 1955. From the introduction to the O. Henry Memorial Award volume: “…the young Virginian of "England to America" will bring back, to all who read, their own heroes. It is fitting that Miss Montague's story should have received the first prize: poignant, short in words, great in significance, it will stand a minor climactic peak in that chain of literature produced during the actual progress of the World War.” It is interesting to look back on this story over a hundred years later, and see how it fared. I think it's safe to say that most people have never heard of the story, or its author, which is a shame. Let's give it a go. And now, “England to America”, by Margaret Prescott Montague.

This week, we go back to the 1850's to meet a writer named Ambrose Bierce. A man who could trace his family back to the Puritans and didn't care one whit. A man who fought in the Civil War so he could help see slavery abolished. A man who wrote against what he saw as the evils of his day even standing between a railroad magnate and his company trying to arrange to have a loan given them by the government forgiven. His stories told tales of war and horror and he inspired writers like Stephen Crane and H. P. Lovecraft. He also disappeared mysteriously and to this day no one knows exactly how or why in this crazy episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.
Paul Auster was a true giant of American literature. Acclaimed for his best-selling works of fiction, nonfiction and poetry, including The New York Trilogy, Invisible, and The Brooklyn Follies, Auster wrote complex and daring tales of humans experiencing, anticipating or searching for something lost, something they are struggling to comprehend. In his 2021 book, Burning Boy, he turned his eye to the 19th-century bad boy of American literature, Stephen Crane. Crane is known for popularising American naturalism, a literary movement that has influenced generations of writers (including Auster himself). But he was as daring off the page as he was on it. Throughout his short life, Crane cavorted from one high-stakes situation to the next: from engaging in political journalism that disrupted the course of the 1892 presidential campaign, to entering a common-law marriage with the proprietress of Jacksonville's most elegant bawdyhouse, to surviving a shipwreck that nearly drowned him, and eventually relocating to England, where Joseph Conrad became his closest friend and Henry James wept over his tragic, early death. In November 2021, Auster joined host Corrie Perkin for a conversation about Burning Boy and the nature of creative legacy. What are the questions one master chooses to ask of another? And what is there to learn from a life lived so bright it burned? This conversation was originally released as a digital event as part of The Wheeler Centre's 'Postcard's From Abroad' series on Wednesday 3 November 2021.The official bookseller was Hill of Content bookshop.

Last week, news broke that writer Paul Auster died from complications related to lung cancer. The New York Times called him “the patron saint of literary Brooklyn;” elsewhere he was dubbed "the dean of American postmodernists." He was the author of many novels such as The New York Trilogy, and he wrote screenplays, memoirs, and nonfiction, including Burning Boy: The Life and Work of Stephen Crane.He was also a long-time friend of Brooke and her husband Fred Kaplan — they lived a few blocks away from each other in their Brooklyn neighborhood. In November of 2021, Paul Auster walked over to Brooke's home studio to talk about Stephen Crane. On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

We were saddened to learn of Paul Auster's passing on April 30, at the age of 77. In his memory, revisit this interview, which originally ran on November 5, 2021, on the late author's favorite writer: Stephen Crane. Exploding the Canon will return next week. In his decades-long career, the writer Paul Auster has turned his hand to poems, essays, plays, novels, translations, screenplays, memoirs—and now biography. Burning Boy explores the life and work of Stephen Crane, whose short time on earth sputtered out at age 28 from tuberculosis. Like his biographer, Crane, too, spanned genres—poetry, novels, short stories, war reporting, and semi-fictional newspaper “sketches”—striking it big in 1895 with The Red Badge of Courage, which was widely celebrated at the time and is still regarded as his best work. But in Auster's estimation, the rest of Crane's output (and there is a surprising amount of it) is sorely neglected, and the pleasure of Burning Boy lies in reading one of the 19th century's finest writers alongside one of today's. Paul Auster joins the podcast to talk about the task of restoring Stephen Crane to the American canon.Go beyond the episode:Paul Auster's Burning BoyRead Steven G.

He was last known to join Pancho Villa's revolutionary army as an observer in October 1913. He was never heard from again.

Then, Lauren shares with us the haunted tales of the ghosts of Clinton Road.

Joyce Carol Oates is the Rogers S. Berlind '52 Professor Emerita in the Humanities at Princeton University with the Program in Creative Writing. She is among the most widely-recognized and respected writers of our time, and has written in a wide variety of media and genres, from poetry and fiction in the former category to horror and Gothic in the latter.

Their discussion largely centers on technique and form, and touches on the work of James Joyce, Stephen Crane, Vladimir Nabokov, and Edgar Allan Poe, in addition to Joyce's own novels and short stories.

In the wake of yet another racist mass shooting, this time in Buffalo, New York, media outlets are churning out heartbreakingly familiar stories, with the same tropes and the same helplessness. On this week's On the Media, how we've become mired in patterns and lost sight of the potential solutions. Plus, how journalists should cover the ongoing siege on democracy. Then, a deep dive into the forgotten legacy of one of America's most influential writers. 1. Brooke Gladstone [@OTMBrooke], OTM host, on the tropes that choke coverage of every mass shooting, and why we should focus on consequences and the 'rot at the root.' Listen. 2. Jay Rosen [@jayrosen_nyu], professor of journalism at New York University and media critic for PressThink, on why journalists should still be in "emergency mode." Listen. 3. Paul Auster, acclaimed novelist and author of Burning Boy: The Life and Work of Stephen Crane, on the 19th century writer's forgotten legacy. Listen.
