In gadget-head circles, one of this summer's most buzzworthy new products is the Pulse pen: a ballpoint that simultaneously records both your handwriting and the sound of the words you are transcribing. Both are transferred to a Windows PC when you return home -- seemingly perfect for lecture-hall students, journalists and note-takers of any kind. Well, perfect except for one thing: the Pulse pen doesn't work unless you write on special paper. Thousands of tiny micro- speckles tell the pen's tiny camera where it is on the page as you write, but limits you to writing in notebooks that you buy from the Pulse company. No back-of-the-envelope brainstorms, no legal pads, no using your own letterhead. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

When I was about to graduate from Colgate University, in 1980, I knew I wanted to be a journalist. But I also knew that there are no ''normal'' career paths in the news business. There are no formal training programs -- and newspapers do not send recruiters to college campuses. So I sent letters to Colgate alumni who worked in journalism. I wasn't particularly interested in broadcast news, but one of my letters went to Andy Rooney. In his reply, he suggested that I start my career at a newspaper or magazine -- which is what I did. But the really memorable thing about his letter was the paper it was written on. It looked and felt like toilet paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

IT was on a Sunday morning, June 13, 1971, that The Times published its first installment of the Pentagon Papers. Few readers may have been more excited than a circle of aspiring undergraduate journalists who'd worked at The Harvard Crimson. Though the identity of The Times's source wouldn't eke out for several days, we knew the whistle-blower had to be Daniel Ellsberg, an intense research fellow at M.I.T. and former Robert McNamara acolyte who'd become an antiwar activist around Boston. We recognized the papers' contents, as reported in The Times, because we'd heard the war stories from the loquacious Ellsberg himself. But if we were titillated that Sunday, it wasn't immediately clear that this internal government history of the war had mass appeal. Tricia Nixon's wedding in the White House Rose Garden on Saturday received equal play with the Pentagon Papers on The Times's front page. On ''Face the Nation'' the guest was the secretary of defense, Melvin Laird, yet the subject of the papers didn't even come up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The New York Times plans to eliminate 100 newsroom jobs -- about 8 percent of the total -- by year's end, offering buyouts to union and nonunion employees, and resorting to layoffs if it cannot get enough people to leave voluntarily, the paper announced on Monday. The program mirrors one carried out in the spring of 2008, when the paper erased 100 positions in its newsroom, though other jobs were created, so the net reduction was smaller. That round of cuts included some layoffs of journalists -- about 15 to 20, though The Times would not disclose the actual figure -- which was the first time in memory such a layoff had happened. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The marketing executive at the center of The Washington Post's discredited plan to charge power-brokers for private dinners with the paper's publisher and journalists has resigned from The Post, the paper disclosed on Friday. The Post had sent fliers to lobbyists and trade groups, inviting them to pay $25,000 or more to sponsor salons at the home of Katharine Weymouth, the publisher -- off-the-record dinners with reporters, editors and government officials. The plan became public in July, drawing sharp criticism from journalists in and out of the paper, and The Post quickly dropped it. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

THE average weekday New York Times contains nearly 130,000 words of news, information and opinion distilled from millions cascading in from throughout the world. The newspaper employs layers of editors and multiple policies and procedures to make sure that every one of those words is as accurate as anyone can determine in the daily rush of history. But, with all the safeguards, bad things still happen. Last month, because reporters and editors in three different parts of the paper did not take enough pains to verify information, The Times reported as fact a political telephone call that didn't happen, fell victim to a faked letter to the editor, and published a sensational anecdote about a college football recruiting battle that the paper cannot be confident is true. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The troubled Village Voice laid off three employees Tuesday, including Nat Hentoff, the prominent columnist who has worked for the paper since 1958, contributing opinionated columns about jazz, civil liberties and politics. Lynn Yaeger, a fashion writer who has worked for the paper for about 30 years, was also laid off, as was Chloe A. Hilliard, who has written for two years. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The sense of adventure that saw The New York Sun sally forth in 2002 as a fresh voice in the troubled newspaper industry was met by success in garnering thoughtful, devoted readers. Some of them even wrote personal checks in the attempt to keep the paper alive. But it was not to be. The handsome, newsy broadsheet reported its demise on its front page on Tuesday after six-and-a-half years. The loss of a lively newspaper is always lamentable, and particularly so as readers search their way through the uncertain transition toward Internet-based journalism. ''In the end, we were out not only of money but time,'' Seth Lipsky, the paper's editor, told the newsroom of his efforts to find 11th-hour financial renewal amid the dismal climate of Wall Street. Mr. Lipsky, a respected newspaper veteran, resurrected the name and logo of The Sun after 52 years in mothballs to offer news from an analytical, unabashedly conservative perspective.

There are so many stories about the life and times of Steve Dunleavy, the longtime New York Post columnist and even longer-time Rupert Murdoch acolyte, that some, inevitably, have evolved over the years. Many of the tales involve copious amounts of alcohol. But not this one. It goes like this: As a young copyboy in Australia 55 years ago, Mr. Dunleavy was so hungry for a story that he popped the tires of his father's car at a murder scene. His father, a photographer at a rival paper, could not get to the post office to transmit photos, and Mr. Dunleavy, then about 15 years old, earned his paper a big scoop. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Reports that Zhao Yan, a Chinese reporter for "The New York Times," was indicted on charges of disclosing state secrets to the newspaper and on a lesser charge of fraud. Zhao worked in the paper's Beijing bureau and has spent 15 months in prison without a hearing. The formal indictment is important because the move on charges relating to state secrets is usually tantamount to conviction in China. Zhao, who denies the charges, could face a minimum of 10 years in prison.

This summer, for the first time, you can make a meal from the food offerings on the High Line, in Chelsea. From the hot dogs at Bark to the sweet-pork tacos at the Taco Truck to the popsicles made from locally grown fruit at People's Pops, it's a menu perfectly pitched for summer: light, fresh, modestly portioned and, generally speaking, a good accompaniment to beer. Still, this being New York, even the park fare needs to be ''thoughtful, creative and interesting,'' as the High Line's Web site has it, so expect a lot of sustainable this and artisanal that when bellying up to one of the resto-sheds that cluster at the Chelsea Market Passage above 15th Street on this elevated landscape. Last week, for instance, a group of European journalists, in town for a seminar, could be found outside Terroir, a wine bar, although -- it's an occupational hazard -- they seemed somewhat more interested in the drinks than the eats. IN THE SEATS Five participants at the Columbia University Journalism School's three-week Summer Investigative Reporting Workshop. From Finland's Suomen Luonto (akin to National Geographic), there was Juha Kauppinen, 36, an investigative reporter. From Helsingin Sanomat (Finland's largest daily newspaper) there were Piia Elonen, 34, an assistant news editor, and Katja Kuokkanen, 36, a metropolitan reporter. Michelle Cloos, 27, covers Middle East policy for Tageblatt, a daily paper in Luxembourg; and Maurice Thiriet, 32, works for Tages Anzeiger in Zurich. He described his beat as ''gambling, prostitution, drugs -- everything not directly related to politics,'' adding, ''Let's say I do the fun stuff.'' [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACK when paper and ink still mattered, I fell into a job as a nightside reporter at The Providence Journal, in the habitually newsworthy state of Rhode Island. This was many years ago, before exercise, sobriety and good hygiene had ruined the misanthropic bonhomie of the typical newsroom -- or so the romanticizing journalist in me likes to think. Here was the tough-guy cop reporter who owned a bar called Hope's, named in honor of the proprietor of the dead-end saloon in ''The Iceman Cometh.'' Here, in the newspaper's library, was a file for Charlie Zabluski, who for years provided eyewitness accounts of various fires and accidents, even though he had sprung fully formed from the fevered imagination of a reporter in need one day of a pithy quote.

LONDON -- A Scotland Yard team investigating the bribery of police officers by journalists searched the offices of Rupert Murdoch's flagship British tabloid, The Sun, on Saturday after arresting a police officer and four men identified as current or former journalists at the paper. A police statement said searches were also being conducted at the homes of the arrested men. The arrests appeared to be an intensification of the police investigation into the role of The Sun, Britain's highest circulation daily newspaper, in the illegal news-gathering techniques that prompted Mr. Murdoch, 80, last summer to close The Sun's sister newspaper, the weekend News of the World.

AS public editor, I begin the New Year with a growing appreciation for the challenge The New York Times faces in maintaining its leadership in American journalism. I want to revisit five issues here, all requiring keen judgment on the part of the paper. The presidential campaign: For Times journalists and their peers elsewhere, this quadrennial event is an adrenaline rush that requires sober oversight by senior editors to ensure that balance, fairness and accuracy survive the scramble to compete.

Tom Wicker, one of postwar America's most distinguished journalists, who wrote 20 books, covered the assassination of President John F. Kennedy for The New York Times and became the paper's Washington bureau chief and an iconoclastic political columnist for 25 years, died on Friday at his home near Rochester, Vt. He was 85. The cause was apparently a heart attack, said his wife, Pamela Wicker. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

LONDON -- A journalist at the tabloid The Sun was arrested Friday on suspicion of making illegal payments to police officers, a sign that a scandal has spread beyond The News of the World to other papers in Rupert Murdoch's British media empire. The suspect, a 48-year-old man, is the sixth person to be arrested in Scotland Yard's investigation into illegal payoffs by newspapers to police officers in the wake of the phone hacking scandal at The News of the World. He was arrested outside London ''in connection with allegations of corruption,'' the police said, and taken to a police station in southwest London for questioning. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
