National Civic Review All About Public Journalism
There are lots of highlight moments in the short life of public journalism, but I think the Fall, 2004, issue of the National Civic Review is one of those highlight moments.
It just came out in hard copy and brings us up to date on the state of public journalism and how it is being helped along with technology. This is a must read for anyone interested in public journalism and the media’s role in a democracy. And I am not just saying that because I have an essay in the journal.
The last time the National Civic Review devoted an edition to public journalism was 1996. So it is nice to be back in the limelight again. You can see the journal online by registering here. But I have not quite figured out how to get to my own article. Maybe you are smarter than I am.
Here is the table of contents of the Fall, 2004 issue:
Journalism and Public Knowledge — Cole Campbell
In Search of Authenticity: Public Trust and the News Media — Richard C. Harwood
Journalism and Democracy: Does It Matter How Well the Press Covers Iraq? — Peter Levine

The National Civic Review’s subhead is “Making Citizen Democracy Work” and is a publication of the National Civic League and Jossey-Bass. In its 93rd year, it is one of the nation’s oldest journals.
