A free press is a prerequisite for democracy, and objective and incisive reporting can only help low income people, redlined and excluded communities. Inner City Press/Community on the Move, as its name connotes, is also engaged in journalism, in use of the Freedom of Information Act, and has an understanding of the time and other constraints reporters are under. This page is intended to help (or, where applicable, bring balance to) journalists’ reporting.

ICP has previously published Predatory
Bender, a (double) book about
the inner city-relevant topics of subprime lending, and corporate
fraud. The Washington
Post
of
March 15, 2004, calls Predatory Bender: America in the
Aughts "the first novel about predatory lending;" the London
Times of April 15, 2004, "A Novel Approach," said it "has a
cast of colorful characters." The Pittsburgh
City Paper says the 100-page afterword makes the
"indispensable point that predatory lending is now being
aggressively exported to the rest of the globe." Click here

review; click here for
sample chapters, here for

ICP also has lending and other analysis of a number
of banks not (for now) listed on the Current
Campaigns page; contact us

concerning the Federal

and more recently reports on
the United Nations, where Inner City Press is accredited
