Engaging News Media

the long version

Engaging News Media was published by Cowley Publishing (an Anglican imprint) as a practical guide to getting as much as any human can from the news and information poured over us these days. Given the publisher, it attempts to be helpful to people of faith or spirituality, but it offers an insight into how all of us pursue information through our particular psychological filters and takes readers inside the news industries to see who's doing the news and how they do it. Fairly even-handed approach. Recommended by two reviewers for all readers, not just those with a religious dimension in their lives. The author is a former professional journalist now teaching journalism and mass communications in New England.
