Review
"A valuable addition to a meager list of books that take journalism seriously." -- Tom Goldstein, New York Times Book Review
"At last we have a full-scale, beautifully written account of the origin, growth, and meaning of 'public journalism' by the man who knows more about it than anyone else." -- Neil Postman, author of Amusing Ourselves to Death
"In this book, which chronicles several battles over the future of the press, Jay Rosen shows why his ideas are sure to play an important part in the press's rediscovery of its role." -- James Fallows, author of Breaking the News: How the Media Undermine American Democracy
"Jay Rosen is the intellectual force behind the civic journalism movement, and this remarkable book is the best statement yet of civic journalism's philosophy, promise, and problems. A must read."
Thomas E. Patterson, Harvard University -- Thomas E. Patterson, Harvard University
"Providing us a refreshingly jargon-free manifesto of public journalism, [Rosen] proceeds in a spirit of fairness to record both the successes and the criticisms of its myriad detractors." -- Tracy Lee Simmons, Washington Post Book World
