The Top Ten Works of Journalism of the Decade, 2000-2009


Since the government is next going to address the financial sector issues, the timing is right for us to be more informed on the subject of subprime mortgage. The following item will take you a good hour but it is excellent in how well it clarifies the issue of subprime mortgage.


4 Alex Blumberg and Adam Davidson
This American Life, National Public Radio: "The Giant Pool of Money," May 2008

This hour-long radio documentary finally made the "subprime" mortgage crisis clear and cogent, and the result was the most downloaded episode in the history of the show.

and I have marked these two to read.  I really like Barbara Ehrenreich's books. If you have not read her, please do look her up.  Her book I really liked was Fear of Falling: The Inner Life of the Middle Class (1989). It is EXCELLENT.

 

7 Barbara Ehrenreich
Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America, 2001.

Widely discussed undercover reporting on the difficulty of making ends meet with minimum-wage jobs in America.

and this one. The title really caught my attention. I think it is true that the War on Terror has stood our ideals on their head to a great extent.

 

6 Jane Mayer
The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals, 2008

A thorough and damning investigation, based on her New Yorker articles, of the Bush administration's more questionable tactics in the war on terror.
