A View from Brooklyn
The Center for Study of Brooklyn
By Paul Moses
Have you been wondering how a $4.2-billion project, on 22 acres, the size of the Empire State Building three times over, using eminent domain, sited at one of the busiest intersections in Brooklyn, near neighborhoods with some of the highest asthma rates in the nation, next to the developers two other malls, and which also happens to be the largest single-source private development in NYC's history, is a mere footnote in the media coverage?
Veteran Brooklyn journalist Paul Moses says it most succinctly:
Nowhere in the country do so many people get so little local coverage.
Though the situation looks bleak, Moses examines how Cablevision's News 12 could make a difference.
