Glasser, Professor of Communication, Stanford University

"Tanni Haas has read more of the history, delved deeper into the background, and unfolded more of the ideas behind public journalism than anyone - ever. His book is the most comprehensive and the most careful treatment of the subject that I know of. No one else has his command of the material, or his ease with the terms of debate." - Jay Rosen, Professor of Journalism, New York University and
