Lear Center director Marty Kaplan wrote a column about media, politics and pop culture, in print and online, from 2005 to early 2019. During those years, the column won six First Place prizes at the L.A. Press Club’s annual Southern California Journalism Awards. At its inception, the column was published on the home page of the Huffington Post. From 2008 through 2017, his pieces also appeared in the Jewish Journal; in 2018, the column was published by the Forward. Numerous other sites cross-posted the pieces during those years. This archive, comprising more than 400,000 words, makes that work available as pdf and (where reliable) as links.
