"Jordan G. Teicher … made the most of his short visit here to produce the most clear-eyed and comprehensive summary of Buffalo's opportunities and challenges to appear in a non-Buffalo media outlet since the invention of 'Buffalove.'" - Colin Dabkowski, The Buffalo News
"It's hard to explain the appeal of monster trucks to people who didn’t grow up with a love of motorsports or big machines or loud stuff. But it’s easy to get it once you’ve been there. Journalist Jordan Teicher, writing an article for Talking Points Memo, went to the Monster Jam World Finals in Las Vegas in 2015. 'From a technological perspective, the advances have been really swift and impressive. If you look at the first monster trucks and the trucks competing today, they’re almost like different species,' he said. The ability to perform bigger and better tricks — the wheelies, the backflips, the jumps — has eclipsed even the spectacle of crushing cars. The main action, he said, is in the slow-motion collapse of the trucks in pursuit of the impossible. 'Monster trucks didn’t invent [destruction as entertainment], but they’re certainly getting close to perfecting it,' he added: They’ve created a safe atmosphere for crowd-pleasing, contained, family-friendly violence." - Linda Rodriguez McRobbie, The Boston Globe

"Life Without Internet in NYC" included in "The Best of Gothamist, 2016." "At first, Jordan Teicher's story in The Morning News of a 9-year-old girl named Zaidee and her small Jewish congregation in Rapid City, S.D., seems to offer a grim outlook for the future of Judaism in the remote areas of our country. But Teicher also sees signs of hope for the isolated congregation. A student rabbi from Cincinnati who visits once a month has decided to keep coming back for another year, and the synagogue president is hopeful that Zaidee's generation will carry the congregation forward." - The Two-Way, NPR Digital Editor Avie Schneider
