#PhillyFive What We’re Reading: Oct. 22, 2014
What we're reading this morning.
1) Alienating a state from east to west: Tom Ferrick writes about Corbett's troubled tenure in Pennsylvania in the New York Times.
2) Gawker runs some pictures of Renee Zellweger. Finds it necessary to add, "These are 100 percent photos of Renée Zellweger (the one you are thinking of—the famous actress), from Getty photos, correctly identified as Renée Zellweger."
3) Why Atlantic City is dying. Even during its halcyon days, AC was an enterprise built around blue smoke and mirrors, writes George Anastasia in Politico. How did it become Detroit with a Boardwalk?
4) Crime and criminal justice stories are a staple of local news coverage. The Crime Report asks if newspapers are doing enough to put those stories into context. h/t GunCrisis.org
5) What happened to women in computer science? NPR's Planet Money suggests it was because early home computers and computer games were heavily marketed to men and boys.
