Veteran reporter Jeff Kunerth culls four decades of award-winning journalism into a collection of stories that are inspiring, entertaining, enlightening, and, occasionally, astounding. As a writer for the Orlando Sentinel, Kunerth found the extraordinary stories inside the lives of ordinary people: from the black man raised to believe he was white to the custody battle over a baby switched at birth, from the tragic death of a drum major to the living memory of 9/11. Forty: Newspaper Stories 1970-2014 encapsulates a career dedicated to exceptional storytelling.

In the mediated digital era, communication is changing fast and eating up ever greater shares of real-world power. Corporate battles and guerrilla wars are fought on Twitter. Facebook is the new Berlin, home to tinkers, tailors, spies ? and terrorist recruiters. We recognize the power shift instinctively but, in our attempts to understand it, we keep using conceptual and theoretical models that are not changing fast, that are barely changing at all, that are laid over from the past.

Sven Stadtmuller zeigt anhand von Labor- und Online-Experimenten, dass durch die Vermittlung von Informationen zum demografischen Wandel und zur Umlagefinanzierung der Rente eine positivere Einstellung zur Rente mit 67 hervorgerufen werden kann. Er fuhrt aus, bei welchen Personengruppen Informationen besonders wirksam sind und wie diese dargeboten werden mussen, um eine gunstigere offentliche Meinung zu der Reform zu erzeugen. Grundlegend fur seine Untersuchung ist seine Beobachtung, dass die demografischen Trends, die Funktionsweise des Rentensystems und die Zusammenhange von Demografie...

Labelled "an elegant Jeremiah" by a journalist of his day, the urbane Victorian Matthew Arnold must have received the comparison with the Old Testament prophet uneasily. Writing in the 1970s, Norman Mailer seems to owe nothing to the biblical for his description of a long hot wait to buy a cold drink while reporting on the first voyage to the moon. Yet both Arnold and Mailer, George P. Landow asserts in this book, are sages, writers in the nonfiction prose form of secular prophecy, a genre richly influenced by the episodic structures and harshly critical attitudes toward society which...

The Fourth Estate examines the history of journalists and journalism in twentieth-century Ireland. While many media institutions have been subjected to historical scrutiny, the professional and organisational development of journalists, the changing practices of journalism and the contribution it has made to the evolution of modern Ireland have not. This book rectifies the deficit by mapping developments in Ireland from the late 1880s to today.
