Review
Praise for Behind the Headlines: "Cecil Rosner has authored a much-needed history of investigative reporting in Canada. ... The work is an excellent reminder of what such reporting has meant in this country since before the country was born." --Literary Review of Canada
"Rosner's examples demonstrate what works: detailed research and revealing interviews, governed by scrupulous adherence to the facts." --Winnipeg Free Press
"An ambitious survey." --Canadian Historical Review
"A rollicking good read." --Christopher Dornan, Carleton University
"... a comprehensive exploration of the historical and philosophical foundations of journalism enlivened by colourful anecdotes from the struggles to report some of the hard stories of our time. It is a rich blend of scholarship and anecdote, a rare insight into the minds and motivations of people who report - and sometimes make - the commodity we call news." --Linden MacIntyre, award-winning author and host of CBC's the fifth estate
"In an era of superficial, celebrity-driven media, Cecil Rosner reminds us of what journalism can and should be. In this insightful and important book, Rosner alerts us to the crucial role journalism can play in challenging the powerful." --Linda McQuaig, author of Shooting the Hippo and It's the Crude, Dude
"A fascinating and largely untold story of a generation of rebels and reformers. Not only the definitive work on the subject but an exciting read." --Mark Starowicz, CBC Television
