Several New Voices writers, including me, wrote a group of brief essays last week about Occupy Wall Street. Some of them were also published in the Forward (in print in the picture scan above).

When the essays initially came Jane Eisner, the editor of the Forward, and I were surprised by how negative they were toward the protests. I was invited to explain why it turned out that way on the Reporters Roundtable, a weekly Forward podcast. You can listen to it here.
