Latin American Adventures in Literary Journalism by Pablo Calvi Pdf

The Parrot and the Cannon is a study of the inception and development of Latin American literary journalism and the emergence of an original Latin American literature. Narrative journalism has played a central role in the formation of national identities of the various countries and in the supra-national idea of Latin America as a consolidated region. Beginning in the 1840s and ending in the 1970s, Calvi connects the evolution of literary journalism with the consolidation of Latin America’s literary sphere, the professional practice of journalism, the development of the modern mass media, and the establishment of nation-states in the region.

Adventure Journalism in the Gilded Age by Katrina J. Quinn,Mary M. Cronin,Lee Jolliffe Pdf

These new essays tell the stories of daring reporters, male and female, sent out by their publishers not to capture the news but to make the news--indeed to achieve star billing--and to capitalize on the Gilded Age public's craze for real-life adventures into the exotic and unknown. They examine the adventure journalism genre through the work of iconic writers such as Mark Twain and Nellie Bly, as well as lesser-known journalistic masters such as Thomas Knox and Eliza Scidmore, who took to the rivers and oceans, mineshafts and mountains, rails and trails of the late nineteenth century, shaping Americans' perceptions of the world and of themselves.

The Daring Spectacle by Mark Morford Pdf

The Daring Spectacle is award-winning San Francisco Chronicle/SFGate columnist and culture critic Mark Morford’s hilarious modern record of sex and media, politics and pop culture, love and lust, as told in ninety-two delectable parts—not including all the delicious photos and terrifying hate mail. Since its inception in SFGate.com nearly 10 years ago, Morford’s hyperliterate, often controversial, smartly unhinged “Notes & Errata” column has achieved an avid cultlike status, and is regularly one of the most read and emailed works on the entire site. The book contains nearly 100 columns, 50 pieces of nicely shocking hate mail, with fresh commentary added to every column, along with photos, snippets, banned work, and various journalistic sacrilege that all points to one undeniable fact: There's simply no other opinion columnist quite like Morford in American media today. Please undress accordingly.

Adventures in Solitude by Grant Lawrence Pdf

From Captain George Vancouver to Muriel “Curve of Time” Blanchet to Jim “Spilsbury’s Coast” Spilsbury, visitors to Desolation Sound have left behind a trail of books endowing the area with a romantic aura that helps to make it British Columbia’s most popular marine park. In this hilarious and captivating book, CBC personality Grant Lawrence adds a whole new chapter to the saga of this storied piece of BC coastline. Young Grant’s father bought a piece of land next to the park in the 1970s, just in time to encounter the gun-toting cougar lady, left-over hippies, outlaw bikers and an assortment of other characters. In those years Desolation Sound was a place where going to the neighbours’ potluck meant being met with hugs from portly naked hippies and where Russell the Hermit’s school of life (boating, fishing, and rock ’n’ roll) was Grant’s personal Enlightenment—an influence that would take him away from the coast to a life of music and journalism and eventually back again. With rock band buddies and a few cases of beer in tow, an older, cooler Grant returns to regale us with tales of “going bush,” the tempting dilemma of finding an unguarded grow-op, and his awkward struggle to convince a couple of visiting kayakers that he’s a legit CBC radio host while sporting a wild beard and body wounds and gesticulating with a machete. With plenty of laugh-out-loud humour and inspired reverence, Adventures in Solitude delights us with the unique history of a place and the growth of a young man amidst the magic of Desolation Sound.

Newsboy! by Bill Fairbairn Pdf

Newsboy takes readers through a lifetime in printing and journalism. One can experience the sudden transition to todays computer assisted printing process after more than 500 years of printing from moveable wooden and metal typefaces in the Western world. Good luck helped the author touch skies over three continents. He found stepping stones across the swirling rivers of newsboy, printer and journalist. Now as editor emeritus of a suburban Ottawa community newspaper he has put it all together in his fifth book. If editor emeritus sounds highfalutin then consider that he also writes and photographs for his Riverview Park Review newspaper, delivers it to doorsteps as he did his Scottish hometown newspapers 73 years ago and he serves on the board of directors. His book takes readers through increased civil rights, his infantry soldier years, more equality still being contested, national independence, musical genius, loves labour lost and won and the more relevant media transformation. He personally experienced objective news judgment when he was aged 15 and he tries to judge news objectively today at age 81 on the Review. From his full-time experience on 15 daily and weekly newspapers, radio and a magazine in Britain, Africa and Canada, he tells what happened around newshounds of the old school pounding Underwood typewriter keys and himself writing interviews in Pitman shorthand. The author believes every journalism student would benefit from reading this book and that readers generally would enjoy it too.

My Times by John Corry Pdf

"There's no more witty and astute a voyager through the worlds of news than John Corry, who for more than thirty years plied his trade in New York, mostly for The New York Times, and briefly for Harper's under Willie Morris. During these years, Corry, who started his career filling paste pots at the Times and finished as the paper's first TV news critic, went to Greece in search of (nonexistent) torture victims of the junta, and to Cuba in search of Castro's (nonexistent) heaven on earth. He covered such politico-celebrities as the Kennedys and the Rockefellers, and such literary celebrities as Jerzy Kosinski. And he did a memorable series on one square block on Manhattan's Upper West Side." "But Corry's biggest story is the one he covers in this book - how the news changed, from the stolid search for facts, to the fanciful New Journalism that he helped create on the pages of Harper's, and finally to the TV news reporting he covered at the Times. The old days there, lovingly re-created, smell of tobacco and scotch, and are filled with serious journalists whose raffish side emerged after the paper had been put to bed. The new days began at Harper's under Willie Morris, when David Halberstam, Norman Mailer, and others were blurring the distinction between news and feature writing." "The same watchful eye and nose for the poseur that won John Corry dedicated admirers in the past informs this entertaining book. We are fascinated and amused to find a front-row seat at the founding of the neoconservative movement (in a Chinese restaurant on the Upper West Side), to have an insider's view of the "old boy" foreign-affairs network at fashionable dinner parties, and to be present day and night at the Times during the fabled tenure of Abe Rosenthal and Arthur Gelb." "Funny, witty, pithy, My Times is destined to join the ranks of the great newspaper memoirs."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
