Crusaders, Scoundrels, Journalists: The Newseum's Most Intriguing Newspeople

Summary: Where's Charles Kuralt?
Review: I was in bliss, paging through these journalism greats when I suddenly realized the author left out Charles Kuralt. As a journalism student, I'd so much rather read about beloved people like Kuralt than 15-minutes of famers like Matt Drudge. The authors even included his replacement, Charles Osgood. What gives, editors? Shunning him because of his affair?

Summary: Perfect for teaching journalism, history, media, criticism
Review: I've been lucky enough to see the uncorrected proof of this work: It's excellent -- by the editor of the Newseum, a truly amazing news museum in the DC area -- his previous work, The News History Gazette, is used by professors in some of the best journalism schools in the country, like Missouri. Includes great essay by Tim Russert. Loads of "corrected history," and "did you know."
