Stop the presses! The heralded lives of newspapermen

Since 2004, some 1,800 metropolitan and community newspapers have gone out of business or merged – a challenging environment for journalists whose job is to report the life's blood of a city. Two "princes of print" who'd gotten their starts in the heyday of New York City metropolitan newspapers were Jimmy Breslin (who died in 2017) and Pete Hamill, both of whom are the subject of a new HBO documentary, "Breslin and Hamill: Deadline Artists." Hamill talked with Tony Dokoupil about working the city beat, and offered advice for journalists of today.

Seniors star in a remake of "Annie Hall"

Intrigued by the change that came over his aging grandmother with early onset Alzhiemer's when she watched an old movie, millennial filmmaker Matt Starr came up with a novel idea: ask seniors to act in a remake of a film. The movie they chose to remake? Woody Allen's "Annie Hall," a comedy about sex, death and memory. Star and partner Ellie Sachs talked with Serena Altschul about working with their cast from Lenox Hill Neighborhood House in New York City (not to mention the live lobsters).

The Vessel: Thomas Heatherwick's oversized public art structure

It's the centerpiece of the largest and most expensive private real estate development in American history: "Vessel," a 150-foot-tall sculpture in the middle of Hudson Yards, a new 16-building complex on the West Side of Manhattan. The honeycombed flight of fancy, made of 154 flights of stairs, was conceived by 49- year-old British designer Thomas Heatherwick, who has put his stamp on some of the most provocative buildings and public projects around the world. Anthony Mason reports.

Inside the pages, and websites, of New York Magazine

In 1968 editor Clay Felker, a Midwesterner whose nose was pressed against the windows of the rich and famous in New York City, and Milton Glaser, a Jewish, Bronx-born art director, launched New York, a national magazine with the sensibility of its namesake city – energetic, ambitious, and full of attitude. The winner of 48 National Magazine Awards, it's outlasted dozens of rival publications, in part through its successful spinoff websites, including Intelligencer, The Cut, and Vulture. "Sunday Morning" contributor (and New York online writer) David Pogue talks with Glaser, former editor-in-chief Adam Moss, and new editor-in-chief David Haskell about New York's special brand of journalism.

How corporations are addressing guns

While Congress and the White House have resisted laws to increase restrictions on gun purchases, companies are taking the lead in curtailing sales of firearms or ammunition, or in restricting customers from openly carrying guns in their stores. Lee Cowan talks with the CEO of Dick's Sporting Goods, Ed Stack, who has pulled some guns from his stores' shelves; former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who helped form the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety; and with gun advocate Dianna Muller, who is against unelected corporate figures making gun policy in America.
