What they're saying about "Unfit to Print: A Modern Media Satire"
And the blurbs for "Unfit" are arriving! Thanks to all.
-- Llewellyn King, Executive Producer and Host of "White House Chronicle" on PBS, says:
“I have long admired G. Wayne Miller's writing. Now he haswritten a book, ‘Unfit to Print: A Modern Media Satire,’ that seems almost writtenjust for me. It deals with the decline and fall of regional and localnewspapers: how, as they were bleeding to death, hedge funds swept in andstripped what was left, firing staff and producing pamphlets in the place ofnewspapers. Miller knows this too well from his own experience.
“But Miller is a storyteller as well as a witness tohistory. So here he delivers a fantastical satire, bringing in, via the dreamsof the protagonist, none other than Benjamin Franklin to excoriate the moneypeople and to lament the damage their greed has done to democracy.
“This is a must-read for newspaper people and an engrossingyarn for everyone else -- those luckless ones who have never stepped into abusy newsroom and savored its intoxication.
“As to the message, it might have been called ‘Unsafe toIgnore.’ ”
