This exciting new series, The Library of Contemporary Thought, tackles today's most provocative, fascinating and relevant issues. Giving top opinion makers a forum to explore topics that matter to themselves and their readers, the aim is: to say things that need saying. "When screaming headlines turn out to be based on stories that don't support them, the tale of the boy who cried wolf gets new life. When the newspaper is filled with stupid features about celebrities at the expense of hard news, the reader feels patronized. In the process, the critical relationship of reader to newspaper is slowly undermined." From News Is A Verb.
