...slight tinge of ethnocentricity clouding the issue: Shigeo Nagashima, now the Giants manager, told a meeting of supporters in 1999 that he wanted to make an all-kokusan (made-in-Japan) Giants team. There is currently a limit of three foreign players per team. Longtime Tokyo-based sports journalist Marty Kuehnert wrote a critical piece about Nagashima's remarks, in which he despaired at the cultural differences still separating the two countries. "Any manager back in the big leagues who said he wanted a pure all-made-in-America team wouldn't last very long," he said. "But here, nobody...
Even the Nieman Report seems to have noticed. In the Spring 2001 issue, Robert Jensen reviews legendary journalist Arthur Rowse’s latest book, “Drive-By Journalism: The Assault on Your Need to Know.” Rowse, according to Jensen, bemoans the increasingly self-interested behavior of American media, which he sees as paradigmatic of the replacement of “citizen democracy” by “corporate democracy.” Nonetheless, Rowse’s proposed societal reforms all center on the media itself. “When it comes...

Thank you for spelling my name correctly (a basic skill for any aspiring journalist) and thank you for mentioning "Dixie's Dirty Secret," a book that is, in part, an account of my work on behalf of civil rights in Mississippi in the 1960s. The KKK gave that book terrible reviews—and, as always, I was happy to receive them. I am proud of my work on behalf of equal rights for African Americans and Jews, and if you are on the other side of that issue, I urge you to thoughtfully reconsider your position...
PLETTENBERG BAY, South Africa - New democracies tend to be a little oversensitive. Take South Africa. A conservative journalist here named Max du Preez recently referred to Thabo Mbeki, South Africa's president, as a "womanizer." I'm not going to reckon with the truth or falsehood of the accusation, but by the ANC's reaction, you'd think Mbeki had been called a murderer, a cheat, a fraud, a deviant and a liar - all epithets that Bill Clinton, and probably every American president, routinely gets called...
