If you like following the seedier side of finance, New York's "Money Issue" is worth checking out. With the headline "Dirty Money: Shady Business, in Three Parts," this features some of the best long-form financial reporting I've seen all year. We get Joe Hagan's piece on the "biggest insider-trading ring since Boesky," David France's piece on The New York Times reporter who lost his job trying to save a kid from his "career" in porn, and an interview with two drug kingpins.
For the full table of contents for the issue, check out the magazine's website.
As long as we're on the topic, I'd like to take a moment to bemoan the decline of this kind of journalism. With newspaper budgets being squeezed by declining ad revenue, few news organizations are able to devote the resources to support investigative or even just detailed reporting.
So support New York's effort -- maybe it will inspire others.
New York Magazine's 'Money Issue' is a must-buy
