Produktbeschreibung

This is Book II, Patriotism and Politics, of three books in the Real Advocacy Journalism® series. Book I focused on Ethics and Values. Book III will address Justice and Equality. Book I has received great editorial reviews from Kirkus Reviews, Midwest Book Reviews, and Chanticleer International Book Reviews and more. It also won the Silver Award from the Midwest Independent Publishers Association.

I have been an advocate journalist for the past four decades.

The writings of an advocate journalist always boil down, directly, or indirectly, intentionally, or unintentionally, to a pleaimploring the reader or listener to think, to consider the facts, the circumstances, the workable solutions for the issues at hand, and when appropriate and necessary to engage in action.

I have primarily addressed some of the most enduring issues of our times. But I have also addressed the temporalpressing matters of the hour. Most of my writings during the last four decades have maintained relevancy, fulfilling a needed voice. As a collection, the selected commentaries are snapshots of history and are included because of their timeliness and timelessness. During the past four decades, they have been written for a large radio station, a major metropolitan daily newspaper, and community newspapers, and are currently online.

In my writings, I have endeavored to practice the tenets of Real Advocacy Journalism® stick to the facts, analyze them, put an event, situation, or issue into perspective to foster a better understanding and provide direction to form an opinion or pursue an action. Real Advocacy Journalism® is the focus of my book, Shaping Public Opinion: How Real Advocacy Journalism® Should Be Practiced (2021).

All commentaries, written over the decades, have been chosen for their enduring relevancy in terms of their subject matter's timeliness or timelessness. Many represent historical accounts of defining moments, incidents, and issues that have had lasting impacts and lessons learned.
My hope is that in sharing my attempt to improve understanding about issues that impact us all, you will be informed, enlightened, inspired, and have reaffirmation that our words and actions are what advance a more civilized and better society.

Autorenporträt

A native daughter of Mississippi, Janice Ellis grew up and came of age during the height of the Civil Rights Movement and the Women's Liberation Movement. Caught in the nexus of those two powerful social movements, and the culture of the times, she became determined to take a stand and not accept nor allow oppressive racial segregation and entrenched sexism limit what she could become. ¿¿It was her love of books, and her exposure to renowned columnists Eric Sevareid of The CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite and Walter Lippmann-whose syndicated column appeared for more than three decades in over 250 major newspapers across the United States and 50 abroad in Europe and Asia-that help shape the trajectory of her life's work. While studying Lippmann's columns and books, she was inspired to complete a Master of Arts degree in Communication Arts, a second Master of Arts degree in Political Science, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Communication Arts, all from the University of Wisconsin. ¿¿It was during her course of study that her unwavering belief-the belief that the wise use of words is what advances the good society-was solidified. Being a journalist has not been her formal training nor her profession. Becoming an advocate journalist has been her calling. As circumstances, issues, and forces-social, political, economic-occur all around her, push against her, she has chosen to push back. She has consciously entered the fray, using the power of words-the only real and lasting weapon she has. ¿¿She is the author of four award-winning books: From Liberty to Magnolia: In Search of the American Dream (2018); Shaping Public Opinion: How Real Advocacy Journalism¿ Should Be Practiced (2021); USING MY WORD POWER: Advocating For A More Civilized Society, Book I Ethics and Values in the Real Advocacy Journalism® (1922); and From Liberty to Magnolia: In Search of the American Dream -New Edition (2023).She holds a Ph.D. and two Master of Arts degrees from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
