Within the Veil: Black Journalists, White Media

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Newkirk, Pamela / Reeves, Minou, PUBLISHER: New York University Press, Winner of the National Press Club Prize for Media Criticism. Companion website: http: //www.nyupress.nyu.edu/authors/veil.html Thirty years ago, the Kerner Commission Report made national headlines by exposing the consistently biased coverage afforded African Americans in the mainstream media. While the report acted as a much ballyhooed wake-up call, the problems it identified have stubbornly persisted, despite the infusion of black and other racial minority journalists into the newsroom. In Within the Veil, Pamela Newkirk unmasks the ways in which race continues to influence reportage, both overtly and covertly. Newkirk charts a series of race-related conflicts at news organizations across the country, illustrating how African American journalists have influenced and been denied influence to the content, presentation, and very nature of news. Through anecdotes culled from interviews with over 100 broadcast and print journalists, Newkirk exposes the trials and triumphs of African American journalists as they struggle in pursuit of more equitable coverage of racial minorities. She illuminates the agonizing dilemmas they face when writing stories critical of blacks, stories which force them to choose between journalistic integrity, their own advancement, and the almost certain enmity of the black community. Within the Veil is a gripping front-line report on the continuing battle to integrate America's newsrooms and news coverage.

Real Knights: Over 20 True Stories of Battle and Adventure

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gravett, Christopher / James, John, PUBLISHER: Enchanted Lion Books, What do Lancelot, Traistan and Sir Gawain have in common? They were not real knights. But what do El Cid, Arnold of Ardres, Hermann von Salza and Edward the Black Prince share? They were real knights. What were "real knights" really like? Did they resemble their larger-than-life counterparts of fiction and legend? Or were they unscrupulous warriors, often little better than brigands in their pursuit of land and loot? As REAL KNIGHTS shows, one of the reasons knights continue to intrigue us is because they remain contradictory figures, high-minded and chivalrous, as well as ruthless. In REAL KNIGHTS, the careers of 20 celebrated individual knights are examined. The book also provides a context for these individual stories by presenting historical background on early knights, the Crusades, the age of chivalry, the Hundred Years War, and the age of the professional knight. In addition, special sections focus on such topics as armor, weapons and fighting techniques; warfare; tournaments; life in a castle; and clothes, food and entertainment. John James's highly detailed, vivid illustrations stunningly recreate the authentic look of the knights themselves as well as the atmosphere of the age, while the accompanying text allows for an informative and entertaining exploration of the world of chivalry and the careers of knights from many different corners of Europe.
