Watchdogs of Democracy? : The Waning Washington Press Corps and How It Has Failed the Public (Hardcover)

About the AuthorHelen Thomas is the dean of the White House press corps. The recipient of more than thirty honorary degrees, she was honored in 1998 with the inaugural Helen Thomas Lifetime Achievement Award, established by the White House Correspondents' Association. The author of "Thanks for the Memories, Mr. President"; "Front Row at the White House"; and "Dateline: White House," she lives in Washington, D.C., where she writes a syndicated column for "Hearst."

Hey, this book deserves your attention. Helen Thomas is fighting a one-person trench war to maintain the standards of professional journalism, such as it used to exist.

She needs reinforcements. Let's give her some.

(Ed. note: I nominate Helen Thomas as 'local hero' #5)
