America's streets are in terrible shape. And I'm not talking about potholes, busted curbs or blinky street lights.

No, the problem is that so many of our streets are really mean. This meanness is sweeping the country and spreading to foreign lands.

I made this discovery recently after hearing a TV war correspondent refer to snipers shooting people on "the mean streets of Sarajevo."

It seemed to me that I had read or heard the phrase "mean streets" before.

Using a computer service, I searched for the words "mean streets" in dozens of newspapers.

The search covered only the first five months of this year. But the results were frightening. Here are just a few of the mean streets that were found.

Introducing 'AnonyWatch': Tracking Nameless Quotations in The Times

Introducing 'AnonyWatch': Tracking Nameless Quotations in The Times (NYT / Public Editor's Journal)

New York Times columnist Margaret Sullivan launched an effort Tuesday to point out some of the more regrettable examples of anonymous quotations in the Times. Mediaite An initial example of the pervasive phenomenon is Ginia Bellafante's column about Mayor Bill de Blasio's trip to Albany in which a "Democratic insider" says the mayor thinks he and the New York governor are friends "but Andrew Cuomo doesn't really have friends." FishbowlNY

Another article Sullivan called out was even worse. In a piece on the Malaysian Airlines plane, an anonymous quote was issued on an anonymously sourced theory that someone on the plane made abrupt shifts in altitude to "depressurize the cabin and render the passengers and crew unconscious."

LA Times Fires Reporter for Inappropriate Relationship And Big Error (LA Times)

Hat Tip: Mediabistro's Morning Media Newsfeed

The Los Angeles Times dismissed an investigative reporter Friday after discovering he had an inappropriate relationship with someone who was a source for a front-page story that the newspaper says contained an error.

The editor's note read, "A front-page article in the Los Angeles Times on Dec. 7, 2013, was incorrect in reporting that Occidental College failed to disclose 27 alleged sexual assaults that occurred in 2012."

Separately, as they began looking into the complaint, Times editors learned from the author of the articles, staff writer Jason Felch, that he had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with someone who was a source for the Dec. 7 story and others.

Poynter / MediaWire The college approached the paper for a correction and the Times reviewed documents showing the 27 cases did not fall under the disclosure requirement, the paper said. Some were sexual harassment cases or inappropriate text messages, which are not covered by the act.

The Los Angeles Times fired investigative reporter Jason Felch after he disclosed he had “engaged in an inappropriate relationship” with someone who was a source for a Dec. 7 story on Occidental College’s handling of sexual assault allegations.

[…]

The Associated Press said Felch issued a statement in which the reporter asserted the Dec. 7 story ran weeks before the relationship began and that he stopped using the source during their relationship.

While he issued a mea culpa: “I accept full responsibility for what I did and regret the damage it has done to my family and my colleagues at one of the nation’s great newspapers,” he also said he thought he was fired for the appearance of a conflict of interest.

++++++++++++

NYT Felch was dismissed Friday, March 14. Felch, 40, said by email on Sunday that Occidental had declined opportunities to comment on the initial article before publication, or to make officials available to be interviewed.

The first article was published before the relationship with the source began, Felch said. He said he did not rely on the person, who was not named by him or the newspaper, as a source after that. He did not describe the nature of the relationship. He was fired, he said, "for creating the appearance of a conflict of interest."

Panama City revival By Eric Vohr, Special to Tribune Newspapers December 18, 2013

Panama City revival

American ex-pats help rebuild a once-decaying district of the capital

By Eric Vohr, Special to Tribune Newspapers December 18, 2013

http://www.baltimoresun.com/travel/sc-trav-1217-panama-hot-spot-20131218,0,250641.story

PANAMA CITY — This Central American nation is fast becoming a prime destination for winter travelers looking to trade cold and slush for sun and surf. But this country's riches are found not only in its tropical jungles and white sand beaches; one of Panama's hottest new destinations is right in the heart of the capital's historic district.

Founded in the 17th century, Panama City's colonial district of Casco Viejo once was the hub of Panamanian culture and civilization. Jutting into the Gulf of Panama on the Pacific side, the district sits on a peninsula chosen for defense against pirates. Casco later fell into neglect as the modern city center sprouted its skyscrapers across the bay.

But now Casco is experiencing a renaissance due in part to the efforts of American expatriates. U.S. influence isn't unusual here; for most of the 20th century, the United States held a corridor bisecting the country along the Panama Canal… http://www.baltimoresun.com/travel/sc-trav-1217-panama-hot-spot-20131218,0,250641.story

People at CNBC Are Relieved That Maria Bartiromo Left by JOE WEISENTHAL DEC. 5, 2013

The entire financial TV industry is in a state of flux.

The Wall Street Journal recently reported on the dismal ratings at CNBC, Fox Business, and Bloomberg. Bloomberg, meanwhile, is in the midst of some kind reassessment of its TV business, and there's widespread apprehension there about what the next direction is for the network.

And the big momentous event was the recent departure of Maria Bartiromo from CNBC to Fox Business.

Bartiromo is the biggest star in financial TV history, and her leaving the biggest network to go to a much smaller rival is a major moment.

So what's the mood at CNBC following this departure?

One person who was at CNBC headquarters the day after Bartiromo's departure actually described a widespread sense of "relief."

It's not that Bartiromo was disliked. It's that CNBC, according to multiple sources, is an insanely competitive place internally, Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/departure-of-maria-bartiromo-at-cnbc-frees-up-guests-2013-12?op=1

News Items: Chicago Sun-Times cuts entire photography staff.

Yet Another Blow To American Journalism

June 12, 2013 By Kellia Ramares-Watson

Again the Profit Motive Prefers Cheap Over Craft

News Items: Chicago Sun-Times cuts entire photography staff. While the company, which has been trying to revive its profits, still will hire professional freelance photographers for coverage, it will increasingly rely on reporters to take photos and video to accompany their stories.

Chicago Sun-Times will train reporters on ‘iPhone photography basics’ … a memo from Editor Craig Newman: “In the coming days and weeks, we’ll be working with all editorial employees to train and outfit you as much as possible to produce the content we need.”

There are two major groups of repercussions to the Chicago story: What this means for journalism, especially photojournalism itself, and what this move says about the economy as a whole.

Rick Steves: Greece in Economic Crisis and Your Travel Dreams

Rick Steves checking out the impact of the economic crisis in Greece

June 11, 2012 http://blog.ricksteves.com/?p=7675 Retrieved December 2, 2012

With all the news about Greece’s economic problems, people are wondering whether it’s a good time to go there or not. I’ve surveyed my Tour Department and our Greek guides who live and work in Greece, and here’s my report…

[…] http://blog.ricksteves.com/?p=7675

My guides report that our Greece tours so far this spring have been as smooth and fun as ever — virtually unaffected by the local political and economic events

[…]http://blog.ricksteves.com/?p=7675

The big concern among the hotels and restaurants we use in Greece is whether they’ll be able to survive the downturn in tourism as many postpone their travels there, fearing “instability.” And many sights are running on their shorter winter schedules for lack of money to staff the longer summer hours.

[…]http://blog.ricksteves.com/?p=7675

… First and foremost, Greece is a safe place to visit. In fact, it’s a good time to visit because you will be made especially welcome. Tourism is Greece’s heavy industry and its leading employer.

It seems to me that US media coverage of Greece has been nothing less than hysterical — just plain silly at times, and woefully lacking in analysis. Greeks are emotional people, and they are given to outbursts of anger — as well as outbursts of joy. Their bad governments in recent times have given them plenty of reasons to be angry. The scenes in Syntagma, the big square immediately in front of the Greek parliament building, are a symptom of this — and act as a release valve. These scenes occur only when the parliament is voting on the hated austerity measures. When you see riots on TV, they are generally the work of a group of anarchists who are limited to Syntagma and know how to get on the news.

The big debate politically is austerity (from the right) versus no austerity (from the left). Until this all sorts itself out, I would recommend that travelers do not wear “Angela Merkel” masks. Regardless of how the debate turns out, and who emerges as the new government, Greeks of all political stripes will take care of tourism, so vital to its struggling economy. The Greeks, a welcoming people at any time, will be doubly appreciative of any visitors in these difficult circumstances.

The main impact on travelers as Greece struggles through this period will be: shorter hours of sights; intermittent strikes; and friends and loved ones back home wondering if Americans traveling in Greece are okay… http://blog.ricksteves.com/?p=7675
