Customer Reviews

Perfect for teaching journalism, history, media, criticism

I've been lucky enough to see the uncorrected proof of this work: It's excellent -- by the editor of the Newseum, a truly amazing news museum in the DC area -- his previous work, The News History Gazette, is used by professors in some of the best journalism schools in the country, like Missouri. Includes great essay by Tim Russert. Loads of "corrected history," and "did you know."
