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.
For reporting about banks or the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), click here for ICP's weekly CRA Report. Click here for a description of some of ICP’s current campaigns, and here for a recent CBS MarketWatch article on the Fair Finance Watch. Below on this page is a list of some articles. For a less newsy approach, see "Community Reinvestment in a Globalizing World: To Hold Banks Accountable, From The Bronx to Buenos Aires, Beijing and Basle," by Matthew Lee, in Organizing Access to Capital: Advocacy and the Democratization of Financial Institutions, Prof. Greg Squires, ed., Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2003. Some of the articles listed below are available for free on the Internet, all are available on Lexis-Nexis and in other news data bases, or, if necessary, from ICP.
ICP has now 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
for that
review; click here for
sample chapters, here for
fast ordering
and delivery, and here for
other ordering
information.
ICP also has lending and other analysis of a number of banks not (for now) listed on the Current Campaigns page; contact us to receive this lending analysis or another analysis, by email (to mlee [at] innercitypress.org). ICP also advocates and reports concerning the Federal Reserve, environmental justice, global inner cities, and, since September 11, 2001, a more general Finance Watch, and more recently reports on the United Nations, where Inner City Press is accredited media.

being here in the Southern District of New York court and
covering the trials of the brother of the current president
and of Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez, it’s clear that President
Juan Orlando Hernandez is mentioned repeatedly by Department

in it himself. So
