"This is an impressive work, required reading for any student of investigative and public affairs reporting, media ethics, media sociology, or public opinion/political communication. ...Likewise, it should be read in every serious news organization and by anyone with a stake in public policy debates.'' --D. Charles Whitney in Journalism Quarterly "All investigative journalists hope to change society for the better, to have a positive impact on the lives of individuals. But rarely do we know if we are making a difference or reporting and writing in vain. THE JOURNALISM OF OUTRAGE helps answer our questions in a systematic, readable way." --Steve Weinberg, Editor, The IRE Journal, and Associate Professor of Journalism, University of Missouri-Columbia "...Two perspectives on journalism--investigative reporting and agenda building--come together in this exciting new book, THE JOURNALISM OF OUTRAGE. This is a creative merger of contemporary case studies, historical background and analysis, and agenda-building theory..." --Maxwell McCombs, Chairman and Jesse H. Jones Centennial Professor in Communication, University of Texas at Austin - An illuminating, lucid, and compelling work. --Political Science Quarterly, 6/7/1992??
