"Democracy has been dying in the darkness for quite some time. What
The View From Somewhere makes dazzlingly clear is that saving
journalism will mean saving it from a false notion of
objectivity."-- "The New Republic"
"The View From Somewhere is brilliant. Wallace slays the myth of
journalistic objectivity, forcing the reader to wrestle with
something profound: that all readers and creators of journalism
have subjectivities, and that we can better perceive and create
depictions of truth if we all examine these subjectivities instead
of pretending that they don't exist."-- "Steven Thrasher,
journalist and Northwestern University professor"
"Wallace asks the right questions and makes a powerful case for a
reexamination of what journalism is and how it can best serve the
public. American journalists will readily admit, I think, that our
industry has let down the broader community in recent years.
Wallace posits a new solution for how we might avoid the mistakes
of the past and move forward in a productive way. The View from
Somewhere is both a fascinating dissection of our political body
and a passionate plea for reform. It's also a darn good read."--
"Celeste Headlee, author of We Need to Talk: How to Have
Conversations That Matter"
