For their 100th podcast, Dan and Ellen talk with Tom Breen, the editor of the New Haven Independent. Tom joined the staff of the Independent in 2018, and then became managing editor. Last November, he stepped up to succeed founding editor Paul Bass, who launched the Independent in 2005 and is still very involved. He's executive director of the Online Journalism Project, the nonprofit organization he set up to oversee the Independent, the Valley Independent Sentinel in New Haven's northwest suburbs, and WNHH. He continues to report the news for the Independent and hosts a show on WNHH, and he started another nonprofit, Midbrow, which publishes arts reviews in New Haven and several other cities across the country. Listeners will also hear from Alexa Coultoff, a Northeastern student who wrote an in-depth report on the local news ecosystem in Fall River, Massachusetts, a blue-collar community south of Boston that flipped to Donald Trump in the last election after many decades of being a solidly Democratic city. We recently published Alexa's story at Whatworks.news. Ellen has a Quick Take on two big moves on the local news front. The National Trust for Local News has named a new CEO to replace Elizabeth Hansen Shapiro, who resigned earlier this year. The new leader is Tom Wiley, who is now president and publisher of the Buffalo News. And in the heartland, the Minnesota Star Tribune has named a new editor to replace Suki Dardarian, who is retiring. The nod goes to Kathleen Hennessey, the deputy politics editor of the New York Times and a former AP reporter. Dan's Quick Take examines a recent court decision ruling that Google has engaged in anti-competitive behavior in the way it controls the technology for digital advertising. This was the result of a lawsuit brought by the Justice Department and a number of states, but it's also the subject of lawsuits brought by the news business, which argues that Google has destroyed the value of online ads. It's potentially good news. It's also complicated, and its effect may be way off in the future.
The UConn 360 podcast is back…with some new co-hosts. Izzy Harris and Mike Enright of University Communications have taken over the reins of UConn 360 and hope to live up the high standards of information and entertainment provided by colleagues Tom Breen and Julie Bartucca. In this first (or 116th) episode, Izzy and Mike introduce themselves to the audience and then are joined by Professor Victoria Ford Smith of the Department of English, who is an expert on classic children's literature, Robert Louis Stevenson and a slew of other topics.
Ellen and Dan talk with Paul Bass, the founder and former editor of the New Haven Independent. Bass is originally from White Plains, New York, but he arrived in New Haven in the late 1970s to attend Yale, and he has been reporting on all the quirks and glory of his adopted home town ever since. Bass was the main subject of Dan's 2013 book, "The Wired City," and is one of the news entrepreneurs featured in our forthcoming book, "What Works in Community News." Bass launched the New Haven Independent in 2005 as an online-only nonprofit. Last fall, Bass announced he was stepping aside as editor, handing the top job over to managing editor Tom Breen. But he's continuing to play a role at the Independent and its multimedia arms, and he has just launched another venture: The Independent Review Crew, which features arts and culture reviews from all over, including right here in Boston. Ellen has a Quick Take on the Texas Tribune, the much-admired nonprofit news outlet started by Evan Smith and others in Austin. The Tribune has been a model for other startups, so it rocked the world of local news last month when CEO Sonal Shah announced that 11 staffers had been laid off. Dan reports on another acquisition by Alden Global Capital, the New York-based hedge fund that has earned scorn for the way it manages its newspapers. Alden acquired four family-owned newspapers in Pennsylvania. Worse, the family members who actually ran the papers wanted to keep them, but they were outvoted by the rest of the family.
In this episode of the podcast Will Barber Taylor is joined by Dr Tom Breen of Oxford Brookes University to discuss In All Our Footsteps, a research project that Tom is working on that aims to capture and record the various footpaths and other forms of rights of way that exist across the UK. They discuss Labour's contribution to rights of way access in 1949 and 2000; how having access to the countryside can improve mental and physical well being and the debate over the 2026 deadline to have all rights of way recorded.

Behind the Brand with Preston & EZ Bluez: Tom Breen by WNHH Community Radio
Dan and Ellen talk with Mary Margaret White, the CEO of Mississippi Today, a nonprofit digital news outlet that has been covering the state for more than six years. The staff has a robust presence at the statehouse in Jackson, and provides cultural and sports coverage, as well. Mary Margaret is a Mississippi native. She has a bachelor's in English and journalism and a master's in Southern Studies from the University of Mississippi. She also spent almost 10 years working for the state, with jobs in arts and tourism. Her work has appeared in The Listening Post Collective, The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture and on Mississippi Public Broadcasting radio. Dan has a Quick Take on a major transition at the New Haven Independent. Last week the indefatigable founder, Paul Bass, announced he was stepping aside as editor of the Independent. The new editor will be Tom Breen, currently the managing editor. Luckily, Bass isn't going anywhere but will continue to play a role. Ellen's Quick Take is on another big transition at the Texas Tribune. Economist Sonal Shah is becoming CEO at the Tribune in January. Shah, who has had leadership roles at Google, the White House, and other high-impact nonprofits, replaces co-founder Evan Smith, who is taking a role as senior adviser to the Emerson Collective. It's a big transition at a pioneering nonprofit newsroom. Smith says he'll continue to spread the local news gospel in his new role.

"Five years prior to the publication of Gateways to Abomination, Matthew M. Bartlett put out a book called Dead Air. That book is now extremely scarce. This volume contains most of the unpublished work from that book, a few dark poems, and stories and fragments that later appeared in Gateways to Abomination and Creeping Waves. It also features magnificently creepy artwork by Yves Tourigny, as well as Tom Breen's original introduction. Witness the early days of dread magus Benjamin Stockton, and of his demonic radio station WXXT, with all its guts, worms, wriggling things, and voices from the dark."

Thursday, February 27, 2020, 12 noon WPKN 89.5 FM www.wpkn.org Host: Duo Dickinson Why do we live where we live? Single family homes, apartments, roommates, accessory apartments, group homes. There are many ways to think about HOME: rent? own? share? Where we live changes. The single family home was a family headquarters for the first centuries of North America. Factories in the nineteenth century made both tenements and tight workers housing. After the First World War, trains mean some could commute (versus walk) to work, and new communities spread. But after World War 2 the world completely changed. The Eisenhower Federal Highway system exploded the suburbs and changed every city in America. Home Page explores OUR HOMES: why we live the way we live. Where are we going? Are the suburbs a death sentence? Will the next generation have lifelong roommates? Will cities become residential again? First we talk to Tom Breen about the extreme local push for apartment living. Breen is the managing editor of the New Haven Independent, where he writes about housing, politics, city government, transportation, public safety, and other local issues in New Haven. Next we talk to Leigh Whiteman, real estate professional extraordinaire about the ongoing American Dream of single-family home living. Leigh is the creator of the Whiteman Team at William Raveis Reality in Guilford, a multigenerational group who has (in one incarnation or another) helped people find homes for half a century. Then we speak to Susan and Bob Frew, who are and architect/developer team in New Haven: they have seen the changes in what people want in their homes and how new needs are met with old buildings. Last, we speak to Joan Arnold, who is the Executive Director of Allied Community Enterprises (ACE) in Westchester County, New York. Joan has ideas about where and how we live is evolving as our culture changes.
