In all likelihood advocacy journalism is the oldest form of
reportage. It appears frequently whenever journalists desire to
advocate their beliefs or ideas about major political or social
problems. In Advocacy Journalists: A Biographical Dictionary of
Writers and Editors, Edd Applegate identifies the most notable
figures in this field. Each entry contains biographical information
about a writer or editor who either wrote advocacy journalism or
edited one or more publications that featured such material.
Entries consist of discussions of the journalists' lives,
professional careers, major works, and, in some cases, commentary
on those works. Among those profiled here are such notables as
Ambrose Bierce, William F. Buckley Jr., Eldridge Cleaver, Daniel
Defoe, Germaine Greer, Pete Hamill, Karl Marx, H. L. Mencken,
George Orwell, Thomas Paine, Wilfrid Sheed, Gloria Steinem, and
Jonathan Swift. Unlike other books that focus on the form of
advocacy journalism itself or how and why it developed, this book
focuses on the lives of journalists and editors and their
contributions to advocacy journalism. For scholars, teachers, and
students of journalism, along with general readers who wish to
discover more about advocacy journalism, this volume is an
important and accessible resource.
