Book Description
In the past 65 years, the United States Supreme Court has outlined, through its decisions, its conceptions of the roles and responsibilities of the U.S. media. Analyzing every Supreme Court media case from 1931 to 1996, this book explores the changes in how the Court has conceived of the media's freedom. Hindman focuses on the educational and political functions of the media, the ethical principles of truth telling, and the conflict between collectivist and individualist interpretations of the First Amendment. The author challenges accepted views in the field, arguing that despite the justices' rhetoric, the Court has treated media freedom as a social goal rather than a right.

Book Description
This volume offers a historical, philosophical, and practical critique of public and civic journalism--a movement that gained momentum in the final decade of the 20th century. During that period, proponents of the movement have published nearly a dozen books expanding upon and expounding the virtues of journalism, seeking to repair what is thought to be the torn social, political, and moral fabric in America. Although previous works have established a strong practical underpinning for public and civic journalism, none has examined its philosophical roots or challenged its methodology and grounding in neoliberal constructs. This volume does just that, tracing its origins in early philosophy to the current newsroom policies and practices that conflict with traditional constructs in libertarian press theory.
Twilight of Press Freedom postulates that institutionalized journalism is fading away and world journalism--prompted by the people--is veering toward more order and social harmony, and away from the traditional idea of the great value of press freedom. The volume provides a critical examination of the trend toward public journalism and considers how press freedom will be impacted by this trend in coming years. Scholars and students in journalism, public opinion, and media studies will find this book insightful and invaluable.

Customer Reviews:
Free Enterprise Rules!.......2007-01-04
Great advice on accumulating wealth, delivered in anecdotal form. I loved this book, finding it very encouraging. Bottom line, you must get started right away!
Better than the original.......2006-04-26
I agree with Top 500 Reviewer Roger Herman. This a a great book for anyone who wants to learn basic principles of gathering and managing wealth. It is told in an interesting story (parable) format that is deeply instructive.
I will always love the original, but the "for Today" version includes investment principles and suggestions that were never mentioned in the orginal book i.e. the use of 401k plans, eBay and the like. I gave a copy to all the kids and grandkids!
Just Buy the Original! Great Idea, POOR Execution.......2004-08-28
I am a big fan of "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George Clason, I think it might be the only book you need to have in order to become "REALLY" successful. Based on my experience with "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George Clason, I was excited to read this book because I thought it would be interesting to see if someone could expand or try and bring Clason's ideas more in line with the world today. I was SADLY DISAPPOINTED with "The Richest Man in Babylon for Today" because this book seemed to me more just a rewrite of Clason's ideas lumped together with a bunch of quotes, then new material. I saw few if any expansions off of Clason's ideas. In my opinion this book is just a repackaging of Clason's ideas with a higher price tag. I did not like the author advertising his other books throughout this book.
Every success, money, or personal finance author has just taken George Clason's original ideas in "The Richest Man in Babylon" and repackaged them. Suzie Orman, Rich Dad Poor Dad, "The Richest Man in Babylon for Today " and numerous others are all just talking about George Clason's ideas.
If you are like me and love "The Richest Man in Babylon" and are wondering about this book, look at it in person before you buy it, because you are likely to be SADLY surprised at how little new material is actually here. This book could have been very good but I just can not justify the price considering how little new material is discussed and how many ideas are "lifted" from other authors ideas.
GREAT IDEA, POOR EXECUTION.
Do not miss the original "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George Clason.
Age-Old Wisdom, Easily Digested.......2004-07-05
Untold numbers of books have been written about how to build wealth. They range from the get rich quick schemes to solid advice on investments. Some are so thick or so filled with formulas and charts that it takes an economist to understand them. Some are inspirational volumes that are filled with platitudes and little else.
In this short book, Siegel spins a story that, at times, almost seems like a fable that's come to life. The story centers on two men having difficulty building wealth and a rich man who mentors them to success. In each chapter, the author imparts, through his fictional wealthy character, advice that we all know but fail to follow religiously. His advisees learn from practicing what they are taught and become successful in their own right.
While there are places that the dialog becomes more of a monologue, the rules of wealth accumulation are delivered, illustrated, and repeated for emphasis and easy reference. The teacher-the man behind the curtain of the fictional story-is well-qualified to present this message to his readers. Siegel is a highly successful businessman who functions as an investment advisor and owns two other companies. He knows what he's talking about, and presents the cogent advice in a form that's easy to digest. The story is simple and the presentation is simple.
This book is recommended for anyone who wants to learn the steps to accumulated wealth through savings, building, and investing. It's not a deep volume, just comprehensive enough to stand on its own...and perhaps stimulate some readers to explore Siegel's previous books or other books on investing. The best time to begin this kind of program is twenty years ago, to paraphrase one of the quotations Siegel uses to season the book; the second best time is now. This is a valuable book for parents to give their children, so they can start the process early in life.

Book Description
Few entrepreneurs can claim to have actually changed the way we live, but Ray Kroc is one of them. His revolutions in food service automation, franchising, shared national training and advertising have earned him a place beside the men who founded not merely businesses but entire new industries.But even more interesting than Ray Kroc the business legend is Ray Kroc the man. Not your typical self-made tycoon, Kroc was 52 when he met the McDonald brothers and opened his first franchise. Now meet Ray Kroc, the man behind the business legend, in his own words. Irrepressible enthusiast, perceptive people-watcher, and born storyteller, he will fascinate and inspire you. You'll never forget Ray Kroc.
Customer Reviews:
Great for entrepreneurs.......2007-10-21
This is a great book for all entrepreneurs who are starting out and a good reminder for established ones. The title fits the book very well since it does show that Ray did make a lot of gambles to make it all work out and he started out an average middle income citizen like everybody else. Lessons like:
- Sweating it out
- Constantly trying new things
- Learning from mistakes
Very good lessons in business and life.
Although the first few chapters on his biography do not have much to do about business.
Ray Kroc, What a Cock.......2007-05-13
I was required to read this book for an entrepreneurship class. I was immensely surprised at the diction of Kroc's writing. If you buy this book, you will be a shocked at the life of a man that truly had no life; he probably had some psychological oddities as well-you can read the first several pages of the book here on Amazon-I encourage you to read them. He witnesses an attractive woman eating a cheeseburger and that she makes his heart "hammer with excitement" as she "devoured the hamburger;" it was not her attractive looks, but the manner of her eating that caused his pulse to race (8). Truly a strange little man-I found myself examining the copyright to see if it was a sick joke played on an unsuspecting populace-sadly, it was not. The rest of the book is the exact same way; Kroc describes his McJournies in vivid detail. This book has a lot of enthusiasm, but not well placed. I don't recommend buying it unless you are in my situation and are forced to do so by a misguided college professor.
terrible i never received the product .......2007-02-15
It has been several months and i have still not recieved the book. i tryed to contact the vendor with no success. I highly recommend using a different distributor.
Great tutorial on how to run a franchise.......2007-01-11
Candid comments from Ray Kroc, great insights on his business philosophy. Highly recommend this book; also "Behind the Arches" which was written 10 years later and complements this book.
good start to a great story.......2006-12-19
The history of fast food and how it developed are among the best stories in business. Ray Kroc adds his perspective in this biography. This is actually a very fair biography and Kroc tells the story from his perspective. The discovery of McDonald's from his milkshake business and the ineptitude of his friends in diluting the brand name are among the high points of the early years. He takes us pretty far into the history and the only thing you want to hear more about are the aboard prospects. While I prefer behind the arches this book is an excellent start to a great story.
