Rezensionen
A masterpiece . . . The Race Beat is a riveting piece of social history that balances both its subjects brilliantly . . . There has never been a better study of the importance of a free press. The Philadelphia Inquirer Fascinating. . . . Just when you think there's nothing left to say about the civil rights movement, [The Race Beat] pulls you back in. The Los Angeles Times The Race Beat has good characters, good yarns and good thinking. Just as important, though, it s got a good heart. Newsweek Research for The Race Beat is meticulous, uncovering many facts that have gone unreported in other books about the movement . . . proves a necessary addition to anyone interested in learning more about the movement and the journalists whose work helped transform the South and, indeed, the nation. Chicago Sun-Times
