The New Front Page

New Media and the Rise of the Audience
Tim Dunlop
A provocative, timely account of the changing face of journalism
from a pioneer of the new-media revolution, The New Front Page
is a passionate plea on behalf of those tired of being talked down
to by the fourth estate. For a long time, media organizations have
controlled the news, treating their audiences as products for adver-
tisers. Yet as journalism has moved online and behind paywalls, the
public is demanding more say in how the news is created. They are
using blogs, Twitter, and Facebook to share stories, and selecting
their sources to create their own “front page.” In this lively, biting
critique, media commentator Tim Dunlop explores the rise of the
audience, and how unprepared the mainstream media has been for
this changing balance of power. Drawing on his experiences as a
prominent political blogger, he argues that the future of meaningful
journalism—the sort we need in order to be informed citizens—
will increasingly rely on journalists and editors taking the audience
into their confidence and working with them, rather than against
them. Perceptive and illuminating, it asks audiences and media to
work together to hold the powerful to account, and to produce the
sort of news and analysis that enriches public debate.
Tim Dunlop was a pioneer of political blogging in Australia,
running the internationally successful independent blog The
Road to Surfdom. He was the first Australian blogger to be hired
by the mainstream media organization News Limited, for which
he wrote the political blog Blogocracy. He teaches at Melbourne
University and writes regularly for a number of publications,
including the Drum.

and who has also been both inside and outside the
MSM walls. His experience and knowledge provides a
much needed history of Australia’s blogs that also
reveals how blogging was regarded by the major media networks. He also looks ahead to where the future lies
for a media that needs more than ever to engage with an audience while also continuing to play its vital role of
holding governments to account. Dunlop’s account is deeply researched and written in an easy and engaging
style that suggests he wants this book to be the start of a conversation—and it is a conversation those interested
in the media will want to have.” —Greg Jericho, blogger and author, Rise of the Fifth Estate

“A lively treatise. . . . Tim Dunlop understands the quandaries [facing the mainstream media] better than
most. . . . His book perceptively analyses how the Internet has diluted the power of the media proprietor and

Stop Press
The Last Days of Newspapers
Rachel Buchanan
There is a story that no one in the media seems willing to tell, one
in which journalists have a vested interest: the death of newspa-
pers. Traditionally known to break the biggest headlines, to chase
the rumors to their source, and to undertake the most in-depth
reporting, newspapers are now grappling with the most formidable
challenges since the advent of print. Reporter Rachel Buchanan
started work at the Age in 1993, as a subeditor. In 2012, after a
decade out of the newsroom, she returned to subediting, but in a
markedly different environment: along with a host of other jobs in
newspaper production, the role had been outsourced. The title of
subeditor no longer exists at the paper. In this insightful, passionate
book, Buchanan chronicles her experiences, providing a unique
insider’s perspective on the rise and slow decline of the printed
newspaper. She exposes the brutal cost-cutting measures of compa-
nies intent on squeezing every drop of profit from print before they
turn to digital, and examines the consequences for those affected—
for it is not only the journalists and editors who are losing their
jobs, but also printers, paper-makers, and distributors whose liveli-
hood is disappearing. Investigating one of the most fundamental
transitions in the Australian media today, Stop Press is a brilliant
account from a journalist at the front lines of history.
Rachel Buchanan has worked as a newspaper reporter, feature
writer, columnist, and subeditor in New Zealand and Australia for
newspapers including the Age. Her writing also appears in publica-
tions such as Australian Book Review, Meanjin, and Griffith
Review. She is a former lecturer in journalism at La Trobe
University in Melbourne and is the author of The Parihaka Album.

Huguenot Refugees
in Colonial New York
Becoming American in the Hudson Valley
Paula Wheeler Carlo
• New in paper
Drawing comparisons with the broader Huguenot diaspora, this

examination reassesses the prevailing view that Huguenots in
North America quickly conformed to Anglicanism and abandoned
the French language and other distinctive characteristics in order
to assimilate into Anglo-American culture. Although the standard
interpretation may still be true for Huguenots in heterogeneous
urban communities, this book argues that it should be modified
for Huguenots in ethnically and religiously homogeneous rural
settlements like New Paltz and New Rochelle, where the process
was more akin to a gradual acculturation. Utilizing wills, census
materials, manuscript sermons, church records, letters from the
Anglican-backed Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in
Foreign Parts, and private documents to explore church and fami-
ly life, this book provides a fascinating insight into colonial
America, the Atlantic world, and religious history.
Paula Wheeler Carlo is an assistant professor in the department of
history, political science, and geography at Nassau Community
College. Her doctoral dissertation received the Outstanding Book
Award from the National Huguenot Society, and she has received a
Faculty Distinguished Achievement Award from Nassau
Community College and a State University of New York

Tall Ships and Tall Tales

A Life of Dancing with History
Jonathan King
Over the last 40 years, Jonathan King has brought history to life,
re-enacting events such as the First Fleet’s voyage across the high
seas to Botany Bay, the mutiny against ship’s captain William Bligh
on the Bounty, Matthew Flinders’ troubled circumnavigation of
Terra Australis, Ernest Shackleton’s death-defying dash across the
icy waters of the Antarctic Ocean, and Marco Polo’s passage from
China. Along the way, King has encountered a cast of mavericks,
rogues, entrepreneurs, dignitaries, and politicians—a veritable
who’s who of Australia and beyond. These include bushman R. M.
Williams, singers Slim Dusty and Helen Reddy, actor Jack
Thompson, media magnate Rupert Murdoch, great train robber
Ronnie Biggs, explorer Edmund Hillary, boxer Muhammad Ali,
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, rock star Sting—and even Queen
Elizabeth II. So join this bestselling author and historian as he
recounts his spectacular adventures: jackarooing on outback sta-
tions; trekking the Amazon to meet a remote tribe; sailing the per-
ilous waters of the Atlantic; riding a traditional junk in the South
China Sea; being detained by Spanish border guards; and becom-
ing caught in an Antarctic hurricane, just meters from reaching
Shackleton’s grave. These extraordinary tales will leave you breath-
less, dazzled, and inspired by King’s persistence and sheer courage
in bringing history to life.
Jonathan King is an award-winning author and historian. He has

The New Deal & Modern

American Conservatism
A Defining Rivalry
Gordon Lloyd and David Davenport
• New in paper; also available in cloth (9780817916848)
Providing an often-overlooked historical perspective, Gordon

Lloyd and David Davenport show how the New Deal of the
1930s established the framework for today’s U.S. domestic policy
and the ongoing debate between progressives and conservatives.
They examine the pivotal issues of the dispute, laying out the
progressive-conservative arguments between Hoover and
Roosevelt in the 1930s and illustrating how those issues remain
current in public policy today. The authors detail how Hoover,
alarmed by the excesses of the New Deal, pointed to the ideas
that would constitute modern U.S. conservatism and how three
pillars—liberty, limited government, and constitutionalism—
formed his case against the New Deal and, in turn, became the
underlying philosophy of conservatism today. Illustrating how the
debates between Franklin Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover were
conducted much like the campaign rhetoric of liberals and con-
servatives in 2012, Lloyd and Davenport assert that conservatives
must, to be a viable part of the national conversation, “go back
to come back”—because our history contains signposts for the
way forward.
Gordon Lloyd is a professor of public policy at the School of
Public Policy at Pepperdine University. He also serves on the

To Make and Keep Peace Among

Ourselves and with All Nations
Angelo M. Codevilla
• Co-op available
Author Angelo Codevilla asks, What is to be America’s peace?

How is it to be won and preserved in our time? He notes that
our government’s increasingly unlimited powers flow in part
from our statesmen’s inability to stay out of wars or to win
them and that our statesmen and academics have ceased to
think about such things. The purpose of this book is to rekin-
dle such thoughts. The author reestablishes early American
statecraft’s understanding of peace—what it takes to make it
and what it takes to keep it. He reminds Americans why our
founding generation placed the pursuit of peace ahead of all
other objectives; he shows how they tried to keep the peace by
drawing sharp lines between America’s business and that of
others, as well as between peace and war. He shows how our
20th-century statesmen confused peace and war as well as
America’s affairs with that of mankind’s. The result, he shows,
has been endless war abroad and spiraling strife among
Americans. Codevilla provides intellectual guidelines for recov-
ering the pursuit of peace as the guiding principle by which the
American people and statesmen may navigate domestic as well
as international affairs.
Angelo M. Codevilla, formerly a senior research fellow at the
Hoover Institution, is a professor emeritus of international
relations at Boston University. He was a Foreign Service officer
and served on the Senate Intelligence Committee as well as on
presidential transition teams. He is the author of, among oth-

Hotel Andromeda
Gabriel Josipovici
In a house in a quiet street in North London, Helena struggles with
her self-appointed task of writing a book about the reclusive
American artist Joseph Cornell. At the same time she dreams and
thinks about her sister Alice working in an orphanage in Chechnya.
She is certain that Alice despises her for living a life of comfort and
privilege, far away from the horrors of war; yet she knows too that
her work is more than self-indulgence. How to reconcile these two
visions? Enter Ed, a Czech journalist and photographer who claims
he has been working in Chechnya and brings news of Alice, along
with the request for a bed for the few days he has to be in London.
Gabriel Josipovici’s sparkling new novel charts the course of those
few days, as Joseph Cornell’s mysterious life and the strange boxes
he constructed wage a silent struggle in Helena’s mind and spirit
with the imperatives of the present.
Gabriel Josipovici is a former professor at the University of Sussex in
England; is a regular contributor to the Times Literary Supplement;
and is the author of three volumes of short stories, eight critical

Excerpt:
Sometimes I’m tempted to throw away all I’ve written so far and start again, write quite a different kind of book, in the first person
perhaps. Or write it in the third person but like a novel, with more freedom to go where a critical study could not go. Only then, I
think, will I be able to get as close to Joseph Cornell as I feel I need to.
But then I remember that I have been here before, have entertained this idea, but quickly discarded it.
Why did I do that?
Because – I think – I sense that he himself never used the first person. In his notebooks he wrote a great deal about his daily doings
and even his thoughts and impressions – I will come to that – but you feel, reading these, that he is essentially passive: life happens to
him. Not even to him. There is no ‘him’ for life to happen to, in a sense. He is an absence, beyond speech. Before and after it. To
make him the centre of a narrative would be to distort him even more than would writing a conventional critical study. He was never
at the centre. Always at the side. If he was anywhere.
Yet he is not a man incapable of speech. After all, he talks to his brother, to his mother, to his artist friends, to his fellow Christian
Scientists. Talks, in a way, in his notebooks, to himself.
It’s true that as he grows older dialogue turns more and more into monologue. His friends and acquaintances all commented on this.
At the end of his life, when he was living alone in the house on Utopia Parkway, he would talk on the phone to any of his friends
who was prepared to listen. ‘He would talk for hours on end. I would get up and make myself some supper,’ one of them recalls.
‘Every now and again I would pick up the phone and make some sort of noise, so that he knew there was someone at the other end.
He just kept going.’
Very like Glenn Gould, whose friends said the same thing about his phone calls towards the end of his life.
Today, no doubt, both of them would be diagnosed as suffering from a mild form of Asperger’s Syndrome. But how far does that get
us? We impose a term on an individual and imagine that explains him or her. I want to forget about labels. I want to find a way of
writing about him without falsifying as I write.

Short Stories from Urban China
Edited by Liu Ding, Carol Yinghua Lu, and Ra Page
To the West, China may appear an unstoppable economic
unity, a single high-performing whole, but for the inhabitants
of this vast, complex, and contradictory nation, it is the cities
that hold the secret to such economic success. From the afflu-
ent, Westernized Hong Kong to the ice-cold Harbin in the
north, from the Islamic quarters of Xi’an to the manufacturing
powerhouse of Guangzhou—China’s cities thrum with promise
and aspiration, playing host to the myriad hopes, frustrations,
and tensions that define China today. The stories in this
anthology offer snapshots of 10 such cities, taking in as many
different types of inhabitant. Here we meet the lowly Beijing
mechanic lovingly piecing together his first car from scrap
metal, somnambulant commuters at a Nanjing bus stop refus-
ing to acknowledge the presence of a dead body just feet away,
or Shenyang intellectuals conducting a letter-writing campaign
on the moral welfare of their city. The challenges depicted in
these stories are uniquely Chinese, but the energy and ingenu-
ity with which their authors approach them is something read-
ers everywhere can marvel at. Featuring stories from locations
including Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Harbin, Hong Kong,
Nanjing, Shanghai, Shenyang, and Wuhan, Xi’an, the collec-
tion contains work from authors Jie Chen, Han Dong, Diao
Dou, Cau Kou, Ding Liying, Ho Sin Tung, Yi Sha, Zhu Wen,
Xu Zechen, and Zhang Zhihao.
Liu Ding is an artist who lives and works in Beijing. His first
solo exhibition was in 1998 in Nanging, after which he estab-
