Review:
"Harris describes Pulitzer's Gold as being for journalists and students seeking to learn about great newspaper work as well as for American history buffs. The book touches a larger audience: people interested in a good read, readers looking for good efforts that make a difference, those who believe in fighting for something worthwhile, and citizens who want to better understand society." "It is loaded with the Aha! moments that make us, as journalists, glad we passed up the big-bucks MBA track to try to save the world instead."--"Nieman Report"s "[A] fine contribution to both scholarship and instruction, a book that can be read for fun, consulted for research, and assigned for class."--"Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly" "At a time when the business model of the American newspaper lies broken, this book tells us, by vivid examples, why newspapers are essential to our national well-being. It is a sobering yet inspiring message." --John S. Carroll, former Los Angeles Times editor and 1993-2002 Pulitzer Prize Board member "It is loaded with the Aha! moments that make us, as journalists, glad we passed up the big-bucks MBA track to try to save the world instead."--Nieman Reports "[A] fine contribution to both scholarship and instruction, a book that can be read for fun, consulted for research, and assigned for class."--Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly It is a must read for those who want an inside look at journalism at its best.
