Valentine's Day Economy, Rising Safe Sales and a Solid Gaming Industry

  • By Newmark J-School Staff

Hope everybody is enjoying the holiday. Here is some good reading and viewing material to help pass the day:

  • Joe Walker and Sophia Tewa showed the value of teamwork, quickly turning around an economy-related Valentine’s Day package. The print portion found a home in am New York, while their broadcast video made the News Service.
  • Maya Pope-Chappell served as editor in chief of Insight, a magazine featuring art, photos, poetry and interviews. Come on by my office to check it out.
  • Joel Schectman scored a solo byline in the Daily News with his story about a lawsuit filed by a paraplegic who contends he was mistreated by cops and doctors.
  • While many folks joke these days about stashing money under mattresses, the economic downturn has spurred an increase in sales of safes, Karina Ioffee reports for the Daily News.
  • Sergey Kadinsky contributed to this Daily News followup story about a DWI-related death.
  • In our alumni corner, Linnea Covington wrote a delightful piece for the West Side Spirit about a multi-talented Lincoln Center worker.
  • Eliot Caroom, meanwhile, wrote an article for Inc. about how the video game business seems to be doing well amid tough economic times.

Congrats to all – and keep ’em coming.
