Everyone in politics knows that current York City is a tabloid town.
But more than normal,The current York Post and The Daily News are getting under City Hall's skin this summer.
From painted ladies in Times Square, to the homeless people on the streets of the Upper West Side, or some would say the tabloids maintain been driving the agenda for weeks.
The NYPD announced thi
s week that they'll clear homeless people from 80 encampments around the city,following coverage in both tabloids. And coverage of Times Square has arguably led to a mayoral task force to study the issue.
But Christine Greer, professor of political science at Fordham University, and said the mayor does maintain a chance to reset the agenda,by "really making sure that he's articulating all of the goals that he actually is accomplishing in this city."In this interview, WNYC's Jami Floyd talks with Greer about the relationship between City Hall and the press.
