COVER STORY: Pete Hamill and the storied history of metropolitan newspapers
Since 2004, some 1,800 metropolitan and community newspapers have gone out of business or merged – a challenging environment for journalists whose job is to report the life’s blood of a city. Two “princes of print” who’d gotten their starts in the heyday of New York City metropolitan newspapers were Jimmy Breslin (who died in 2017) and Pete Hamill, both of whom are the subject of a new HBO documentary, “Breslin and Hamill: Deadline Artists.” Hamill talked with Tony Dokoupil about working the city beat, and offered advice for journalists of today.

MUSIC: Lizzo
She’s been compared to some of the greatest singers of our time. Her real name is Melissa Jefferson, but she’s known by her childhood nickname, Lizzo, and you might say this has been her year. Last month alone she had the number one song, “Truth Hurts”; appeared on the cover of Elle magazine; and stole the show on MTV’s biggest night. She also costars in the hit Jennifer Lopez film, “Hustlers.” Yet, the 31-year-old described her career as “the slowest build of all time.” Lizzo sat down with Tracy Smith to discuss overcoming bouts of poverty, homelessness, and crippling self-doubt, and how her high school band teacher gave her the focus she needed to make her mark.
