Evolution of a Columnist (Taschenbuch)

Evolution of a Columnist (Taschenbuch)
von Edward Flattau

Synopsis:

The book chronicles the intellectual journey of Ed Flattau, the only nationally syndicated environmental columnist writing on a continuous basis for American newspapers since the early 1970s'. Through a chronological compilation of writings dealing with issues, people, places, and events, the book charts the course of his thinking and how it shaped his career. This includes personal reflections on journalism, politics, and the environment that take the reader from the author's formative stage in the 1960s' to the present day. The book describes how a prize-winning columnist deals with the inevitable contradictions and challenges of his subject matter, and conveys a sense of the steady growth of the environmental movement's national influence since the 1970 celebration of the first Earth Day. Flattau's twice-a-week environmental column has appeared in as many as 120 daily newspapers at various times during the past three decades. He has won ten national journalism awards, reported from five different continents, and shined a spotlight on the key environmental issues and the movement's principle players. In addition to being published in the nation's leading newspapers and periodicals, many of Flattau's writings have been far ahead of their time. Perhaps one of the book's most striking revelations is that we continue to make many of the same correctable environmental mistakes of 30 years ago. "Evolution of a Columnist" is a unique sort of journalistic memoir. Few if any columnists have gone about telling their stories directly through the development of their thought processes. As an added inducement, the book contains refutations of the right-wing polemical tracts and talk-show claims that have recently flooded the marketplace; and while many journalists have given President George W. Bush a free pass, Flattau is not one of them. The book should appeal to academic and general audiences interested in what it takes to be a columnist.
