"the middle place is about calling home. instinctively. even when all the paperwork -- a marriage license, a notarized deed, two birth certificates, and seven years of tax returns -- clearly indicates you're an adult, but all the same, there you are, clutching the phone and thanking god that you're still somebody's daughter." for kelly corrigan, family is everything. at thirty-six, she had a marriage that worked, a couple of funny, active kids, and a weekly newspaper column. but even as a thriving adult, kelly still saw herself as george corrigan's daughter. a garrulous irish-american charmer from baltimore, george was the center of the ebullient, raucous corrigan clan. he greeted every day by opening his bedroom window and shouting, "hello, world!" suffice it to say, kelly's was a colorful childhood, just the sort a girl could get attached to. kelly lives deep within what she calls the middle place -- "that sliver of time when parenthood and childhood overlap" -- comfortably wedged between her adult duties and her parents' care. but she's abruptly shoved into a coming-of-age when she finds a lump in her breast -- and gets the diagnosis no one wants to hear. and so kelly's journey to full-blown adulthood begins. when george, too, learns he has late-stage cancer, it is kelly's turn to take care of the man who had always taken care of her -- and show us a woman as she finally takes the leap and grows up. kelly corrigan is a natural-born storyteller, a gift you quickly recognize as her father's legacy, and her stories are rich with everyday details. she captures the beat of an ordinary life and the tender, sometimes fractious moments that bind families together. rueful and honest, kelly is the prized friend who will tell you her darkest, lowest, screwiest thoughts, and then later, dance on the coffee table at your party. funny, yet heart-wrenching, the middle place is about being a parent and a child at the same time. it is about the special double-vision you get when you are standing with one foot in each place. it is about the family you make and the family you came from -- and locating, navigating, and finally celebrating the place where they meet. it is about reaching for life with both hands -- and finding it. show more (1)

how do you decide what is a 'story' and what isn't? what does a newspaper editor actually do all day? how do hacks get their scoops? how do the tv stations choose their news bulletins? how do you persuade people to say those awful, embarassing things? who earns what? how do journalists manage to look in the mirror after the way they sometimes behave? the purpose of this insider's account is to provide an answer to all these questions and more. andrew marr's brilliant, and brilliantly funny, book is a guide to those of us who read newspapers, or who listen to and watch news bulletins but want to know more. andrew marr tells the story of modern journalism through his own experience. this is an extremely readable and utterly unique modern social history of british journalism, with all its odd glamour, smashed hopes and future possibility. show more (1)

local newspapers can hold back the rising tide of political division in america by turning away from the partisan battles in washington and focusing their opinion page on local issues. when a local newspaper in california dropped national politics from its opinion page, the resulting space filled with local writers and issues. we use a pre-registered analysis plan to show that after this quasi-experiment, politically engaged people did not feel as far apart from members of the opposing party, compared to those in a similar community whose newspaper did not change. while it may not cure all of the imbalances and inequities in opinion journalism, an opinion page that ignores national politics could help local newspapers push back against political polarization (1)

the nineteenth century witnessed unprecedented expansion in the reading public and an explosive growth in the number of books and newspapers produced to meet its demands. these specially commissioned essays examine not only the full range and variety of texts that entertained and informed the victorians, but also the boundaries of victorian literature: the links and overlap with romanticism in the 1830s, and the roots of modernism in the years leading up to the first world war. the companion demonstrates how science, medicine and theology influenced creative writing and emphasizes the importance of the visual in painting, book illustration and in technological innovations from the kaleidoscope to the cinema. essays also chart the complex and fruitful interchanges with writers in america, europe and the empire, highlighting the geographical expansion of literature in english. this companion brings together the most important aspects of this prolific and popular period of english literature (1)

this element examines how the changing economic basis of parliamentary elections in nineteenth century england and wales contributed to the development of modern parties and elections. even after the 1832 reform act expanded the british electorate, elections in many constituencies went uncontested, party labels were nominal, and candidates spent large sums treating and bribing voters. by the end of the century, however, almost every constituency was contested, candidates stood as representatives of national parties, and campaigns were fought on the basis of policies. we show how industrialization, the spread of literacy, and the rise of cheap newspapers, encouraged candidates to enter and contest constituencies. the increased expense that came from fighting frequent elections in larger constituencies induced co-partisan candidates to form slates. this imparted a uniform partisan character to parliamentary elections that facilitated the emergence of programmatic political parties (1)
this element examines urban imaginaries during the expansion of international news between the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, when everyday information about faraway places found its way into newspapers all over the world. building on the premise that news carried an unprecedented power to shape representations of the world, it follows this development as it made its way to regular readers beyond the dominant information poles, in the great port-cities of the south american atlantic. based on five case studies of typical turn-of-the-century foreign news, lila caimari shows how current events opened windows onto distant cities, feeding a new world horizon that was at once wider and eminently urban (1)
this study focuses on the spread of print in colonial india towards the middle and end of the nineteenth century. till the first half of the century, much of the print production in the subcontinent emanated from presidency cities such as calcutta, bombay and madras, along with centres of missionary production such as serampore. but with the growing socialization of print and the entry of local entrepreneurs into the field, print began to spread from the metropole to the provinces, from large cities to mofussil towns. this element will look at this phenomenon in eastern india, and survey how printing spread from calcutta to centres such as hooghly-chinsurah, murshidabad, burdwan, rangpur etc. the study will particularly consider the rise of periodicals and newspapers in the mofussil, and asses their contribution to a nascent public sphere (1)
tim russert's #1 bestseller about his dad-now available in paperback. over the last two decades. tim russert has become one of the most trusted and admired figures in american television journalism. throughout his career he has spent time with presidents and popes, world leaders and newsmakers, celebrities and sports heroes, but one person stands out from the rest in terms of his strength of character, modest grace, and simple decency russert's dad, big russ.in this warm, engaging memoir, russert casts a fond look back to the 1950s buffalo neighborhood of his youth. in the close-knit, irish-catholic community where he grew up, doors were left unlocked at night; backyard ponds became makeshift ice hockey rinks in winter; and streets were commandeered as touch football fields in the fall. and he recalls the extraordinary example of his father, a wwii veteran who worked two jobs without complaint for thirty years and taught his children to appreciate the values of self-discipline, of respect, of loyalty to friends. russert recalls the dedicated teachers who stimulated his imagination and intellect, sparking a lifelong passion for politics and journalism, and inspired a career that took him from editor of the elementary school newspaper to moderator of meet the press. this #1 bestseller proved that readers everywhere will laugh, cry, and identify with the lessons of life taught by the indomitable big russ. show more (1)
