Presidential press coverage:The unfairness doctrine

Hard not to agree with this from Scott Horton on Harpers.org. Barack Obama has been getting glowing news coverage, as John McCain has been for years — in contrast with not only Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney, as Horton points out, but John Edwards, as well. McCain finishes fourth in Iowa and gets kudos; Edwards finishes second, spending next to nothing compared with Obama and Clinton, and he was one of the big losers.

Broken Cord: An Anthology of Writing on Alzheimer’s and Dementia

We are looking to raise seed money for an anthology of writing on Alzheimer’s and dementia. The anthology will be the first project from a new small press. All proceeds will go to research and care groups. Contributors who donate $20 or more will get copies of the anthology and a mention on the acknowledgements page. Writers, we are looking for poems, fiction, and essays on dementia and Alzheimer’s. They can be from any perspective — care-givers, family, the person with dementia.
