Newsroom Confidential - Lessons...

Margaret Sullivan

"Lisa Flanagan narrates journalist Margaret Sullivan's memoir/manifesto authoritatively....and gives this important audiobook the seriousness it merits." - AudioFile MagazinePrologue read by the authorOver her four decades of working in newsrooms big and small, Margaret Sullivan has become a trusted champion and critic of the American news media. In this bracing memoir, Sullivan traces her life in journalism and how trust in the mainstream press has steadily eroded.Sullivan began her career at the Buffalo News, where she rose from summer intern to editor in chief. In Newsroom Confidential she chronicles her years in the trenches battling sexism and throwing elbows in a highly competitive newsroom. In 2012, Sullivan was appointed the public editor of The New York Times, the first woman to hold that important role. She was in the unique position of acting on behalf of readers to weigh the actions and reporting of the paper's staff, parsing potential lapses in judgment, unethical practices, and thorny journalistic issues. Sullivan recounts how she navigated the paper’s controversies, from Hillary Clinton's emails to Elon Musk's accusations of unfairness to the need for greater diversity in the newsroom. In 2016, having served the longest tenure of any public editor, Sullivan left for the Washington Post, where she had a front-row seat to the rise of Donald Trump in American media and politics.With her celebrated mixture of charm, sharp-eyed observation, and nuanced criticism, Sullivan takes us behind the scenes of the nation's most influential news outlets to explore how Americans lost trust in the news and what it will take to regain it.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Maude Barlow

“Canada’s best-known voice of dissent.” — CBC
		 
“It’s time we listened to the Maude Barlows of the world.” — CNN
		 
In this timely book, Barlow counters the prevailing atmosphere of pessimism that surrounds us and offers lessons of hope that she has learned from a lifetime of activism. She has been a linchpin in three major movements in her life: second-wave feminism, the battle against free trade and globalization, and the global fight for water justice. From each of these she draws her lessons of hope, emphasizing that effective activism is not really about the goal, rather it is about building a movement and finding like-minded people to carry the load with you. Barlow knows firsthand how hard fighting for change can be. But she also knows that change does happen and that hope is the essential ingredient.

The Shocking Truth about Drug...

Zoey Fraisers

Drug policies around the world have long been a contentious issue, influencing not only the legal and political landscapes but also public health, economics, and societal structures. The regulation and criminalization of drugs have shaped global attitudes toward substance use, and in turn, these policies have had profound, sometimes detrimental, effects on individuals and communities. As we examine the shocking truth about drug policies, it becomes clear that the system in place is not only ineffective but also exacerbates many of the problems it seeks to address. 
	  
In its most basic form, drug policy refers to the laws, regulations, and practices that govern the production, distribution, and use of controlled substances. But this simple definition belies the complexity of the issue. Drug policies intersect with numerous societal factors, including crime, health, racial disparities, and international relations. The war on drugs, for instance, has led to millions of individuals being incarcerated, often disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. Meanwhile, the cost of enforcing these laws—both financially and socially—has ballooned, without significant improvements in public safety or health outcomes. 
	  
In countries like the United States, the harsh consequences of drug criminalization have sparked debates on whether a punitive approach is the most effective or if alternative solutions, such as decriminalization or harm reduction, would yield better results. Across the globe, there are countries that have adopted progressive policies, focusing on treating addiction as a public health issue rather than a criminal one. These nations have witnessed significant improvements in public health and reduced rates of incarceration, challenging the traditional narrative around drug use and its societal consequences.
