students still learn today, because other, less restrictive means for ensuring a fair trial existed. That information is recounted each year as the state re-evaluates whether Simants, who was ultimately found not guilty by reason of insanity, should remain institutionalized, as he has been since 1979. Parts of the book might also be valuable supplemental reading in a community journalism course, serving as both an illustration of how local journalism functioned in the late 20th century and the starting point for discussion about the appropriateness of journalists’ involvement in the civic life of communities. Lomicky notes a potential criticism of community journalism: that its “overemphasis on civic commitment overshadows its watchdog role,” with the result that it “fails to deal with major community problems” (p. 62). Blackledge associates interviewed for the book maintain that he did not fall into this trap, but current debates about the role of local journalism and the role of objectivity in the profession render such considerations still relevant.

depots, and command-and-control centers for white supremacist gangs that attacked African American communities, disrupted elections, and fomented chaos to undermine Reconstruction government” (p. 303). For example, the chapter on “Architect of the New South” describes how Henry W. Grady, who became managing editor and part owner of the Atlanta Constitution in 1880, established practices, such as sensationalized coverage of lynchings that encourage mob violence to escalate. In a different but also troubling example, the “Mississippi Plan” chapter describes how Ethelbert Barksdale, the editor of the Clarion, used the newspaper as a “political weapon . . . to sow chaos at political rallies and at polling sites to disrupt” (p. 117) Blacks from voting. Interspersed throughout the book are stories that offer more hope. These detail how leaders of the Black press, such as Ida B. Wells, T. Thomas Fortune, John Mitchell Jr. and others “provided the essential forum for Black dissent” (p. 95). Collectively, these accounts demonstrate the power and role of the Black press, which offers an important counterpoint to the harm that the White southern press was doing. I only wish these stories were more plentiful throughout the volume. The editors end their book with a call to action. They urge newsroom leaders and journalists nationwide to learn from this history as they cover voter suppression, misand disinformation and anti-democratic behavior. I love this part of the book because it connects our past to our present, highlighting the real need to consider what has come before us to prevent it from happening again. Yet, I wonder whether those who most need to read this book, the practitioners of today, will find its very academic writing accessible. Given the need for journalists, and indeed all people, to read what is inside these pages, I wish it were written in a simpler, more journalistic manner. Some sections are quite dense and I suspect few non-academics would want to brook them. However, the important message of this book still resounds: “. . . in the United States, journalism has always been a political activity and journalists have always been political actors. . . Journalists should finally vanquish the misguided view that objectivity demands rigid neutrality” (p. 314).
这些白人至上主义团伙袭击非裔美国人社区，扰乱选举，煽动混乱，破坏重建政府。”例如，在“新南方的建筑师”一章中，描述了1880年成为《亚特兰大宪法》总编辑和部分所有者的亨利·w·格雷迪(Henry W. Grady)是如何建立惯例的，比如对私刑的耸人听闻的报道，从而鼓励暴徒暴力升级。在另一个不同但同样令人不安的例子中，“密西西比计划”一章描述了《号角报》的编辑埃塞尔伯特·巴克斯代尔是如何利用报纸作为“政治武器……在政治集会和投票站制造混乱，扰乱黑人投票。书中穿插着一些故事，给人带来更多希望。书中详细描述了黑人新闻界的领袖，如艾达·b·威尔斯、t·托马斯·福琼、小约翰·米切尔等人如何“为黑人异见提供了重要的论坛”(第95页)。总的来说，这些描述展示了黑人媒体的力量和作用，这为南方白人媒体所造成的伤害提供了一个重要的对比。我只希望这些故事在全书中更加丰富。编辑们在书的结尾呼吁大家采取行动。他们敦促全国的新闻编辑部负责人和记者在报道选民压制、错误和虚假信息以及反民主行为时，从这段历史中吸取教训。我喜欢这本书的这一部分，因为它把我们的过去和现在联系起来，强调了我们真正需要考虑的是，我们面前发生了什么，以防止它再次发生。然而，我不知道那些最需要读这本书的人，今天的从业者，是否会发现它的学术写作很容易理解。考虑到记者乃至所有人都需要阅读这些内容，我希望它能以一种更简单、更新闻的方式写出来。有些章节相当密集，我怀疑没有几个非学者愿意忍受它们。然而，这本书的重要信息仍然回响着:“……在美国，新闻业一直是一种政治活动，记者一直是政治行动者……记者应该最终克服客观性要求严格中立的错误观点”(第314页)。

A content analysis of legacy news and digital media from March 2015 to December 2018 found modest progress in communicating solutions to combat climate change. However, the mitigation frame continues to overshadow the adaptation frame and less emphasis on preparing for and adjusting to changing climate conditions happening now. Overall, legacy news and digital media still frame climate solutions using familiar terms and visuals that de-emphasize concrete, individual actions to combat climate change.

This study explored how the different media in Nigeria report banditry currently ravaging some parts of the country. We sampled two newspapers and two television stations to articulate the study. The result showed, among others, that both TV and newspapers did not adequately set the agenda on the problem of banditry in Nigeria. Comparatively, newspapers did better than TV stations. We discussed these findings in the light of agenda-setting and made suggestions for further studies.

As “boundary objects,” thought-leader articles show some characteristics of journalism but are not considered journalism in its pure sense. Yet this peripheral format occupies a critical place in the media canon and thought-leader articles have value for news organization and audience alike. Given an ongoing demand for content and a declining tendency to pay for it, thought-leader articles have a secure place. But even as they help journalism to overcome one (economic) obstacle, they raise another in the form of questions about their content: Who has a voice? Who is held to account? What agendas are pursued? How are events and topics framed? What are the values of the writer? And who benefits from having a voice, pursuing an agendum and setting the frames of the discussion? When asked of regular reporting, these questions have helped define journalism’s boundaries; when asked of thought-leader articles, the answers similarly reveal what sits inside journalism’s field. This article investigates what thought-leader articles indicate about the boundaries of journalism, through their conformity or otherwise to traditional values and roles.
