Kontorfolket i kommuner og regioner har måttet lægge ører til meget gennem tiden og står altid for skud, når politikere skal pege på, hvordan velfærden kan forbedres, uden at det koster noget: væk med bureaukrati og administration. HK Kommunal, som sporer sin begyndelse til 13. maj 1923, organiserer denne udskældte gruppe offentligt ansatte, som dækker over en bred vifte af fagligheder og typer af arbejdspladser. Man finder HK’ere i forvaltninger og jobcentre, på lokale biblioteker, arkiver og museer, på hospitaler og skoler. De er bl.a. lægesekretærer, skolesekretærer, tandklinikassistenter, sagsbehandlere, biblioteksassistenter, miljøteknikere og IT-medarbejdere og beskæftiger sig med alskens administration bag kulisserne. De fagligheder og funktioner, der i dag tages for givet, er opstået som reaktion på nye samfundsbehov, og er gennem et århundrede formet af HK Kommunals medlemmer.

København har siden senmiddelalderen været en universitetsby, og studenter ved Universitetet har igennem århundrederne været en vigtig del af byens liv. Studenterne har især sat deres fysiske præg på Indre By. Her finder man Regensen, som har ligget ved Rundetårn i 400 år, og tre andre gamle traditionsrige studenterkollegier. Bogen beretter om studenter, kollegier, universitet og samspillet med politik og historie i hovedstaden. Forestillingen om den lidt verdensfjerne student, der lever i „åndernes rige“ stammer i høj grad fra romantikken i begyndelsen af 1800-årene, men bogen rummer mange andre historier om studenterlivet helt frem til i dag. Bogen fortæller således en historie om en studerende elite, der slet ikke er så elitær endda, men tværtimod er og altid har været netop en central del af byens sjæl.

"A sweeping behind-the-scenes look at the last four turbulent decades of "the paper of record," The New York Times, as it confronted world-changing events, internal scandals, and faced the existential threat of the internet For over a century, The New York Times has been an iconic institution in American journalism, one whose history is intertwined with the events that it chronicles-a newspaper read by millions of people every day to stay informed about events that have taken place across the globe. In The Times, Adam Nagourney, who's worked at The New York Times since 1996, examines four decades of the newspaper's history, from the final years of Arthur "Punch" Sulzberger's reign as publisher to the election of Donald Trump in November 2016. Nagourney recounts the paper's triumphs-the coverage of September 11, the explosion of the U.S. Challenger, the scandal of a New York governor snared in a prostitution case-as well as failures that threatened the paper's standing and reputation, including the discredited coverage of the war in Iraq, the resignation of Judith Miller, the plagiarism scandal of Jayson Blair, and the high-profile ouster of two of its executive editors. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and thousands of documents and letters contained in the newspaper's archives and the private papers of editors and reporters, The Times is an inside look at the essential years that shaped the newspaper. Nagourney paints a vivid picture of a divided newsroom, fraught with tension as it struggled to move into the digital age, while confronting its scandals, shortcomings, and swelling criticism from conservatives and many of its own readers alike. Along the way we meet the memorable personalities-including Abe Rosenthal, Max Frankel, Joe Lelyveld, Bill Keller, Jill Abramson, Dean Baquet, Punch Sulzberger and Arthur Sulzberger Jr.-who shaped the paper as we know it today. We see the battles between the newsroom and the business operations side, the fight between old and new media, the tension between journalists who tried to hold on to the traditional model of a print newspaper and a new generation of reporters who are eager to embrace the new digital world.--
