  33 Ways Not to Screw Up Your Journalism is a succinct, authoritative and encouraging handbook of practical and inspiring tools, techniques and values that journalists, whether they're students or newsroom veterans, need more than ever in our fractured and fact-tossed democracy. "Excellent for journalists of all ages and experience," says broadcast legend Dan Rather. Written by award-winning journalist and writing teacher and coach Chip Scanlan, former writing program director at The Poynter Institute, the book is a survival manual for journalists at a time when the news industry is in free fall and their profession is under assault. Journalists are often thrown into their craft with the most rudimentary understanding of what it means to be a journalist in a democracy. Its short, fact-packed chapters remedy that. It can be consulted at your desk or, slim enough to fit in a jacket pocket or purse, when you face a particularly thorny problem in the field. Its subjects range from treating sources with respect, being aware of your biases, plagiarism, fabrication, and ethical decision-making to letting fear stop you, combatting writer's block, and step-by-step guides to the writing process, interviewing and revision and the importance of multimedia and data journalism. Journalism is in trouble, but it's not too late to save it--or yourself--by mastering, sharing and implementing the most critical skills any reporter can have: the basics. Based on extensive research, personal experience and interviews with reporters, editors and publishers, 33 Ways Not To Screw Up Your Journalism is the essential companion for journalists and their professors and coaches.

  Mornings When I Wake

  Mornings When I Wake takes the idea of responding to a book (in this case, Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm) and the "selfing" that arises from the interplay of spirit and text and takes the reader through it experientially, starting in the abstract and slowly moving to the rational. Made up of chapters named for the characters of Holy the Firm, Mornings When I Wake is an ode to Dillard's masterpiece and her overall oeuvre, borrowing themes and styles from many of her books. Put succinctly, it answers the question of what happens when a piece of art lodges in your breastbone.

  The New Gospel of Wealth - With...

  Andrew Carnegie's "The Gospel of Wealth," published in 1889, presents his philosophy on philanthropy and how wealth should be managed by the rich. It became a seminal text on philanthropy, influencing many wealthy individuals to consider how their money could benefit society rather than just accumulating for its own sake. However, Carnegie's views also received criticism for promoting a form of paternalism and for not addressing the root causes of poverty or the structural inequalities in society. 
  "The New Gospel of Wealth" includes thoughts on modernizing the text via a 2019 essay by Frank Marcopolos, written while occupied as an envoy of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. 
  Frank Marcopolos now lives in Florida with his dog, Sparky.

  To Catch a Dictator - The...

  What does it take to make a dictator answer for his crimes? Hissène Habré, the former despot of Chad, terrorized, tortured, and killed on a horrific scale over eight years in power—while enjoying full American and Western support. After Habré’s overthrow, his victims and their supporters were determined to see him held responsible for his atrocities. Their quest for justice would be long, tense, and unnerving, but they would not back down. 
   
   
   
  To Catch a Dictator is an insider's account of the hunt for Habré and his momentous trial. The human rights lawyer Reed Brody recounts how he and an international team of investigators, legal experts, and victims worked across three continents to unearth evidence and witnesses, petition courts and skeptical governments, and rally public opinion. They faced many obstacles and constant threats. Habré fought back bitterly, drawing on secret bank accounts and extensive political connections to preserve his life of luxurious exile. Yet Brody and his allies ultimately triumphed: Habré became the first former head of state to be convicted of crimes against humanity in the courts of another country. This fast-paced, suspenseful book shows that there is nothing inevitable about the impunity that too often protects the powerful and that even the worst tyrants can be brought to justice.
