Wells Fargo CEO Stumpf's Congressional Testimony Reveals Lack of Knowledge
John Stumpf, CEO of Wells Fargo & Co., faced a grueling four-hour interrogation by the House Financial Services Committee where he frequently responded with 'I don’t know' to various questions about the bank's operations and practices. The hearing revealed that Wells Fargo employees had created up to two million fake accounts to meet sales targets, a fact Stumpf seemed largely unaware of. Despite moments of near-contrition, Stumpf refused to categorize the bank's actions as 'fraud' or 'stealing,' although he did admit that in some cases, employees' actions could be considered as such. The article highlights Stumpf's disconnection from both the company's operations and its heritage, as demonstrated by his inability to recall a quote from one of the bank's founders, Henry Wells, which is also featured on the bank's website.

Protecting freelance foreign correspondents in a new era of volatility
The article discusses the increasing dangers faced by freelance journalists, particularly in conflict zones. A panel at the National Press Club highlighted the risks and the need for better safety standards and support from news organizations. Charles M. Sennott of GlobalPost and The GroundTruth Project emphasized the impact of James Foley's murder on the industry's approach to freelancer safety. Delphine Halgand of Reporters Without Borders noted that most kidnapped journalists are locals from conflict regions. The panel included personal accounts from journalists like Rasha Elass, who reported undercover in Syria. Douglas Jehl of The Washington Post and Greg Myre of NPR discussed their organizations' stances on freelancer safety. The article also touches on the challenges posed by the digital age to traditional journalism and the importance of covering stories beyond war, such as global health and climate change.

The sun is shining on Detroit again
The article discusses the ongoing resurgence in Detroit, particularly focusing on the Downtown and Midtown areas. The journalist has been tracking these changes for over a decade and presents a collection of images captured in the last six months to illustrate the transformation. The author encourages readers to view the photos, highlighting that some of them are especially impressive in large format and provides a link to more photos on Flickr. The article seems to be a blend of travel journalism and photojournalism, showcasing the urban development of Detroit through visual storytelling.
At War Over Who We Are
The article describes a protest that took place on January 30 in front of the U.S. Supreme Court against the travel ban on seven predominantly Muslim countries implemented by the Trump administration. Bingham Graves, a protester from Knoxville, Tenn., is highlighted for her silent protest reminiscent of a scene from the movie 'Norma Rae'. The article reports on the subsequent events: Bannon's removal from the National Security Council, the overturning of the travel ban by federal courts, and the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign's ties with Russia. It also covers the Senate Republicans' use of the Nuclear Option to confirm Supreme Court justice nominee Neil M. Gorsuch, which could affect bipartisan cooperation in the Senate.
