Broken schools, newsrooms, governments & other institutions Fixable or forever broken? with Alana Newhouse
b'\\u201cThe real debate today isn\\u2019t between the left and right. It\\u2019s between those invested in our current institutions, and those who want to build anew.\\u201d This is according to Alana Newhouse in a provocative essay she penned for Tablet Magazine. Alana offers a a new frame through which to asses the dysfunction we see in institutions all around us, and what to do about them. \\n\\nIn the conversation, Alana also discusses another essay recently published by Tablet, called \\u201cThe Vanishing\\u201d, by Jacob Savage. The essay reveals some startling data about the shrinking presence of Jews in major American institutions. \\n\\nAlana is the editor-in-chief of Tablet Magazine, which she founded in 2009. Originally conceived as a news and analysis site for Jewish news and ideas, it has grown into a platform for reporting and arguments regularly cited by the New York Times, the Washington Post, The New Yorker, New York Magazine and others.She is a graduate of Barnard College and Columbia University\\u2019s School of Journalism.'
