Mr. Gambling seemed to get on especially well with Mr. Bloomberg, putting the mayor at ease and creating a long record of controversial, off-hand statements on topics of the day, ranging from suggesting New Yorkers go to the bathroom less frequently to requiring that all public housing residents be fingerprinted–to name two recent examples.

The New York Times has lost a lot of big names this year. (NY Mag)
Jill Abramson - Has the gold standard lost its luster? For generations, the Holy Grail of journalism has been a job at The New York Times, but this week Brian Stetler and Matt Bai became the paper’s latest big names to bolt for other gigs. They follow the departures of Megan Liberman, Jeff Zeleny, Rick Berke, Susan Saulny, David Pogue, Nate Silver—and half a dozen senior editors. Whether this exodus means that the Times is in trouble remains unclear, but it can’t be good news for Abramson, who said that talent retention would be one of her top priorities when she became executive editor two years ago.

PRESS FREEDOM — Fox News reporter stretches New York's press shield law — Capital's Jimmy Vielkind: The judges of New York's top court grilled an attorney for Jana Winter, a Fox News reporter who is attempting to use the state's reporter shield law to prevent her from answering a Colorado subpoena related to the Aurora theater shooting. Winter's lawyers argued that the intent of New York's shield law was broad, and should extend to cases involving news gathering by its citizens beyond its borders. "You don't become the global leader of news when you confine your protections to the metro desk," said Christopher Handman, Winter's lawyer. http://goo.gl/phbrKU
