The Trump administration — with the power of the White House being felt from the universities to the Kennedy Center — isn’t the only top-heavy institution in Washington. The media is top-heavy, too. While statehouses around the country go uncovered and local courts go about their business without the light of press scrutiny — a […]

Think of a big-city newspaper as being analogous to a department store. You can get anything you want there, from breaking political news to dinner recipes.
