Summary

"How do we encourage and protect public discourse, so essential to democracy? What function, if any, do journals of opinion - magazines that critically assess the key issues of the day - perform in helping ideas to flow freely and citizens to think for themselves? These questions animate Victor S. Navasky's new book, in which he ranges over his own experiences as a journalist and editor in quest of the answers."--BOOK JACKET.
