The New York Times (here) and the New York Post (here) have coverage of a new non-profit news organization, The Marshall Project, devoted to covering the criminal justice system, that has been founded by Neil Barsky and will be edited by Bill Keller, a former executive editor of the New York Times, who is leaving his Times column to go work at the startup.
I hope that the new site will devote some coverage to white-collar prosecutions such as the one that ensnared Conrad Black and the one that has ensnared Michael Steinberg. It's not just indigent defendants who can get railroaded, after all, and if the new project's goal is to build support for improvements in the criminal justice system — as it appears to be — then one way to do that is to make clear that the system can mishandle not only traditionally discriminated against minority groups but also (and even especially, when they are targeted) successful businessmen.
