This article takes a brief overview of the press in the U.S. The editors of "The New York Times Magazine," had a good idea recently. They noticed that poor people had pretty much disappeared from the media's picture of American society but not, of course, from society itself. To accompany the essay, the editors asked the journalist James Fallows to write an article covering the opposite end of the spectrum, speaking to the newly wealthy about just what they saw as their responsibility to the poor. No doubt the most ambitious reporting on the subject can be found in the recent Bill Moyers PBS broadcast, "Surviving the Good Times."
