Table of contents for week of June 20, 2003

NEWS & FEATURES

Pat Purcell's Herald may be headed in a tabloid direction, says Dan Kennedy, but if it saves the paper's hide, it will keep this a two-newspaper town. And that's good for Boston.

There is liberal bias in the media, says David Brudnoy, but it shows up more as cultural favoritism in the entertainment industry than as slanted coverage of politics or foreign policy.

It's time the right-wing media started telling the truth instead of acting like babies when they're called to account. Veteran comedian and political satirist Al Franken is on the job, says Scott Vogel.

Mark Bazer talks with Northampton author Elinor Lipman, a bona fide writing-class success story.

In the Phoenix editorial we say that it's time to hold Bush's feet to the fire on Iraq.

In "Out There," Rebecca Wieder says "Don't yuck my yum."

Nina MacLaughlin heralds the coming of the Boston Tattoo Convention in "Urban Buy."
