About this title

Review:

"Glasser assembles major figures in academia to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of public journalism and to advance the ongoing discussion of the movement. Contributors mix insight and historical background in their superbly written chapters. Anyone interested in public journalism will find much here to contemplate." --Davis "Buzz" Merritt, Senior Editor, The Wichita Eagle, author of Public Journalism and Public Life

"In this book, Glasser draws together voices that cut through the muddy rhetoric that has so marred discussion of public journalism. The authors provide historical perspective and offer diverse lenses through which to view this movement. With wisdom and elegance, they help us engage the truly profound questions that public journalism raises for the future of our democracy." --Frances Moore Lappe, editor-in-chief, The American News Service and co-author, The Quickening of America: Rebuilding our Nation, Remaking our Lives
