| Summary |
"A collection of startling stories from celebrated authors and fresh new voices alike, Submersion Journalism serves as a proclamation in favor of unsanctioned reporting in an age of managed "news" and PR spin. The book is a defense of the radically first-person dispatch, filed from exactly those points of view where a reporter is not supposed to be."--BOOK JACKET |
