Update: Judge Drops OWS-Related Charges For One Reporter: Here’s Why It’s Not Going to Be You

Update: The New York Observer corrected several factual errors in this post after being alerted to them by WNET's Laura van Straaten.

So you've been arrested during an Occupy Wall Street protest. You're probably looking at your summons or DAT right now and thinking to yourself, "I really should have taken the D.A. up on the deal. Mom and dad are going to be so mad if I go to jail."

But there is a way out! Just ask John Farley, a journalist for WNET's MetroFocus online magazine who was arrested and detained for eight hours on disorderly conduct charges during an OWS march on September 24. He managed to have his case totally dismissed last Thursday in only six steps.

As Mr. Farley's was the only case that was dropped entirely during Thursday's mass courtroom drama involving 70-plus Occupy-related arrests, you might want to pay attention. This is how Mr. Farley managed to get out of jail free, and exactly why you probably can't. Read More

NY1, YNN Get a DC Bureau

Earlier this week, YNN--the upstate sister station of NY1--sent a team of reporters to Washington D.C. to cover the swearing-in of Kathy Hochul, with an eye toward its impact on Western New York.

It's a familiar trek for NY1 reporters, who frequently travel to Washington for stories about the city's Congressional delegation, but one that's about Read More

Report: Cathie Black Out as Schools Chief

NY1 is reporting that embattled schools chief Cathie Black is out and will be replaced by deputy mayor for education Dennis Walcott.

Bloomberg Ad Defends Bloomberg Budget

Mayor Bloomberg is paying to run new, campaign-style television ads defending his budget, taking a page from the group of business leaders who have spent over a million dollars defending Governor Cuomo's agenda in Albany. [Update: Video embeded below]

Journos Pan N.Y. Post Coverage of Kruger

Journalists on the NY1's Reporter's Roundtable Friday had some objections to the way State Senator Carl Kruger was covered by the New York Post which said on their front page that the lawmaker was not only accused of corruption, but "gay" and "closeted" too. The person who allegedly helped Kruger pocket the kick-back money is a doctor that Read More

Campbell Brown is Pat Kiernan’s Hero

Pat Kiernan kicked of his "In the Papers" segment this morning on New York One by tipping his hat to Campbell Brown.

"It's time to take a look at what's in the papers on this Wednesday morning. I have to say, off the top, Campbell Brown is my hero this morning — not becuase Read More

Survey Says

Cuomo’s Numbers Show the Value of Silence

For 1,196 straight days, dating back to 2006, Andrew Cuomo has ignored NY1's offer to sit down for a television interview, preferring, as The Times noted this morning, to hold public conference calls and occasionally lambast the press corps off-the-record.

And so what if it rankles reporters?

New Yorkers don't seem to care. A Quinnipiac Read More

Pat’s Post-Game Analysis

Today the Post announced its reader-determined top front pages of the decade. NY1's Pat Kiernan, host of "In the Papers" and avowed lover of "clever Post wit," was somewhat disappointed.

The contest, he felt, had been presented in such a way that it was unclear whether voters were to pick the most Read More

Resisting the Siren Song of Tiger Woods Gossip

This morning on "Inside the Papers," NY1's Pat Kiernan flat-out declined to discuss the Tiger Woods saga, although it dominated the Post and Daily News front pages. Was this a gesture of protest? A principled stand against the ravenous carcass-picking gossip vultures of the New York City tabloids?

Nope!

"I love the story as much Read More

How NY1′s The Call Pioneered Crowdsourcing the News

In 2004, NY1's news anchor John Schiumo got into an argument with his producer about Martha Stewart. He didn't think the Ms. Stewart's court trials deserved a high ranking on the channel's nightly newscast. "I was insisting that people didn't care and she was insisting that people did care," Mr. Schiumo explained. "So I kind Read More
