Mining newspaper files and the deep archives and journalistic
expertise of the Newseum, an interactive museum of news located in
Washington, D.C., Outrage, Passion and Uncommon Sense examines
decisive issues and events in U.S. history through the nation''s
editorial pages. Approximately fifty editorials are reprinted here
on topics ranging from suffrage and race to war and politics—even
Christmas—with probing analysis by Gartner.
"Editorials are the soul of the newspaper," Gartner says in the
book''s introduction. "Maybe the heart and the soul. And, on a good
newspaper that knows and understands and loves its hometown, or its
home country, the editorial is the heart and the soul of the town,
or the nation, as well."
Readers will also see a visual account of the era through
two-color illustrations, showcasing editorial cartoons, photographs
and typographic details from period newspapers. Outrage, Passion
and Uncommon Sense is a vital, significant collection that portrays
the undeniable influence one editorial can have on this country in
some of its most difficult times.
