How to Cover the One Percent
Michael Massing, How to Cover the One Percent. The New York Review of Books, 14 January 2016. “As the concentration of wealth in America has grown, so has the scale of philanthropy. Today, that activity is one of the principal ways in which the superrich not only “give back” but also exert influence, yet it has not received the attention it deserves.

The first is Reimagining Journalism: The Story of the One Percent, published in The New York Review of Books on 17 December 2015.
