Young and "extremely overconfident," William Marler took a leading role in his first food-borne illness case when he was only five years out of law school. But news coverage about his severely injured 9-year-old client helped persuade another 200 alleged victims of a fast food restaurant in Washington state to seek help from his law firm, too. After winning a $15.6 million settlement for...

A curious happening greeted my cross-country news browsing this morning as I searched for something blog-worthy in Washington state. I looked to Publicola for firsthand coverage of last night’s Publicola-sponsored, post-election face-off between McGinn consultant Bill Broadhead and Mallahan consultant Jason Bennett, but found zilch. Yet there was a link to coverage of the event smack dab on the...

I flew into Philadelphia yesterday in time to watch the Eagles-Bears game with my family, one of those typically frustrating Eagles performances where they can’t seem to get any rhythm going, yet show flashes of brilliance, only to eek out an unsatisfying win or a disappointing loss in the fourth quarter. Last night it was one of those unsatisfying wins, and in reading the headlines in the Philadelphia...

Can a play be a form of journalism ? There's a hot-off-the-presses production being staged at North Seattle Community College that attempts to answer that question in the affirmative. Titled, "It's Not in the P-I: A Living Newspaper About a Dying Newspaper," the play was cobbled together by six Seattle-area playwrights and put before an audience in less than eight months. The lead author...

My wife and I returned from our brief trip to Texas last night. We took advantage of Seattle's new Link Light Rail train to get to and from Sea Tac International airport. Fortunately, we live within easy walking distance of a bus stop, so taking the bus to Westlake Center in downtown Seattle was simple. At Westlake station we boarded the Link Light Rail train for Sea Tac and about 30 minutes later...

Here they come. Their message is on the side of a public bus near you. I have linked a picture sent in by one of our readers. The "Virginia" signs coincide with the Freedom From Religion Foundation's national convention being held in Seattle this weekend. Obviously their signs are a play off the now famous answer to a question posed by an 8-year-old to the old New York Sun newspaper which...

Even less surprising than the revelation that the Ivar’s undersea billboard was an elaborate hoax, is the revelation of how far the Seattle Times actually has that stick shoved up its collective ass : Times Executive Editor David Boardman says that while he can appreciate the initiative behind the marketing ploy and had suspected it was a hoax, he was distressed that Dorpat, whose “Now...

When I saw the headline in The Seattle Times Newspaper “10 Steps to a 30 minute garden” my first thought was “Oh no, not yet another of those quick garden makeover fixes”. There have been so many of those television programmes where gardening gurus have been called in to do a makeover in anywhere from [...] Not Another Garden Quick Fix? is a post from: Gardening and Wildlife...

Here's something we haven't seen lately practically ever: a major boost in resources for women's sports from an American daily newspaper that covers a not-especially-stellar team. You're probably familiar with Jayda Evans, who covers the Storm along with college women's hoops for the Seattle Times; she also wrote a book about the Storm after they won it all in '04. While most WNBA beat reporters covered...

I’ve been meaning to take a closer look at the the Seattle Times’ post-PI circulation numbers, but Crosscut’s Chuck Taylor has done much of the hard work for me. But here’s what we know for sure: Today’s Seattle Times average weekday circulation of 263,588 is, by my calculations, 52,085 less — 16.4 percent less — than the 316,673 combined circulation of both...
