New York City traffic
Evan Cornog, publisher of the Columbia Journalism Review, looks at the role that readers play in shaping the media they consume. Faced with declining readerships and an increasing reluctance to grapple with hard-hitting news, Mr. Cornog wonders if it's possible to do great journalism if the public doesn’t care. Next, Sergio Castellitto, one of Italy's most internationally-acclaimed actors, stops by to discuss a retrospective of his work being put on by the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Then, John Turturro tells us about his unconventional new thriller, Fear X. And on our weekly Please Explain feature, we look at how the city's traffic is regulated--from street lights to subway schedules.
