Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "This biography makes an important contribution to understanding the Civil Rights movement in the South and how the region's most important newspaper covered it. It's also fun to read about one of the South's most important twentieth-century journalists."--David E. Summer, Ball State University More than a decade before the civil rights movement, newspaperman Ralph McGill broke the social code of silence that kept white southerners from publicly debating any change in the system of racial segregation. From his editorial perch at the Atlanta Constitution, McGill dared to question the South's voting laws and its so-called "separate but equal" school system. In the North, McGill was hailed as the conscience of the South, but on his home turf he was branded a traitor and a Communist--"Red Ralph," some called him. The Ku Klux Klan picketed his newspaper offices. Reactionaries sent him hate mail, threatened him by telephone, tossed garbage on his lawn, and used his mailbox for target practice. But in his thirty-one years as an editor and publisher, McGill's columns were eagerly read, even by those who hated him. And those who admired him, including young journalists, began confronting a subject that for generations of white southerners remained a taboo. For this biography, Leonard Teel has drawn on many archival sources not previously used, including files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as public and private archives of McGill's papers and correspondence, interviews with his colleagues and family, and the vast storehouse of his opinion columns in both Nashville and Atlanta. By tracing McGill's decades-long career from his early days as a foreign correspondent in Cuba in the 1930s to his steadfast support for the Vietnam War, Teel reveals a man who, in his unique way, embodied twentieth-century liberalism in all its complexities and contraditions. Most important, Teel shows how McGill's brand of liberalism influenced thw way he grappled with the greatest issue of his time: the ending of the Jim Crow era in the South. The Author: Leonard Ray Teel is an associate professor of communications at Georgia State University, where he founded the Center for International Media Education. He has worked at CNN, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Evening Star in Washington, D.C., and the Miami Herald. His books include Erma: A Black Woman Remembers, 1912-1980 (with Erma Calderon, edited by Toni Morison) and Into the Newsroom: An Introduction to Journalism (with Ron Taylor), which has now been translated into Chinese, Arabic, and Spanish. …

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Reporting the Cuban Revolution reveals the untold story of thirteen American journalists in Cuba whose stories about Fidel Castro's revolution changed the way Americans viewed the conflict and altered U.S. foreign policy in Castro's favour.Between 1956 and 1959, the thirteen correspondents worked underground in Cuba, evading the repressive censorship of Fulgencio Batista's dictatorship in order to report on the rebellion led by Fidel Castro. The journalists' stories appeared in major newspapers and magazines and on national television and radio, influencing Congress to abruptly cut off shipments of arms to Batista in 1958. Castro was so appreciative of the journalists' efforts to publicize his rebellion that on his first visit to the United States as premier of Cuba, he invited the reporters to a private reception at the Cuban Embassy in Washington, where he presented them with engraved gold medals. While the medals revealed Castro's perception of the correspondents as like-minded partisans, the journalists themselves had no such intentions. Some had journeyed to Cuba in pursuit of scoops that could rejuvenate or jump-start their careers; others sought to promote press freedom in Latin America; still others were simply carrying out assignments from their editors. Bringing to light the disparate motives and experiences of the thirteen journalists who reported on this crucial period in Cuba's history, Reporting the Cuban Revolution is both a masterwork of narrative nonfiction and a deft analysis of the tension between propaganda and objectivity in the work of American foreign correspondents. Reveals the untold story of thirteen American journalists in Cuba whose stories about Fidel Castro's revolution changed the way Americans viewed the conflict and altered US foreign policy in Castro's favour. The book is both a masterwork of narrative nonfiction and a deft analysis of the tension between propaganda and objectivity.
