Biography
Tanni Haas is Associate Professor of Speech Communication Arts & Sciences at Brooklyn College. He has published many journal articles and book chapters on the theory and practice of public journalism.
"In contrast with previous works, the book reviews how public journalism is practiced internationally...supported by a comprehensive bibliography...well-written..." --CHOICE
"Reviews what public or civic journalism is, where it has come from, how it is practiced, and some of the problems with it... In all, this is a very useful survey of an ongoing debate about journalism."--Chris Sterling, Communication Booknotes Quarterly
"As a former journalist who counts herself among both the practitioners and advocates of public journalism, I find it extraordinary to see public journalism through Haas' eyes. ... he delivers on the book's subtitle with a rare form of passionately engaged scholarship. ... Unique to this book are a comprehensive survey of public journalism outside of the United States and a discussion of the intersections and overlaps between public and citizen journalism."--Cheryl Gibbs, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly
