FORGET THE "IT" BAG OR THE "IT" GIRL. THE NEW "IT" IS NOT HAVING "IT" AT ALL. THAT'S RIGHT MY FELLOW NEW YORKERS AND FRIENDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, UNEMPLOYMENT IS IN.

The Cost of Journalism

As a self-employed journalist (and employed is to be taken lightly), I cannot ignore the sentencing of journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee in North Korea today.

Ling and Euna were sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for crossing into North Korean territory.

The two journalists were arrested on March 17, as they were reporting on the trafficking of North Korean women.

My heart goes out to their families and I hope that the United States can bring them home soon.
