A MATTER OF OPINION

Book ID/图书代码： 07B14827

English Summary/英文概要： Victor S. Navasky is the renowned editor, writer, and teacher who has been at the helm of The Nation for almost thirty years. A Matter of Opinion, a scintillating reflection on his journalistic experiences, is also an extraordinary political document–a spirited, provocative argument that independent journals of opinion are vital to the health of democracy. Whether at the satirical magazine Monocle (which he founded when he was in law school), or at The New York Times, or finally at The Nation, Navasky’s commitment to political engagement and to the social and intellectual values of independent cultural activity has always been upfront and center. In a wonderfully entertaining narrative, he tells of his innovative efforts to find money to keep The Nation afloat and to keep its pages lively, honest, and relevant, and he embellishes it with unforgettable stories–about his colleagues and opponents, from E. L. Doctorow to Bill Buckley; his heroes, from I. F. Stone to Jürgen Habermas; and his predecessors, from Daniel Defoe to Carey McWilliams. Navasky’s accomplishments have been legion, despite the threats of revenue-driven multinational media corporations, and despite the sometimes ugly, sometimes hilarious problems that fearless muckrakers face in any culture. A Matter of Opinion is a passionately written, irresistibly charming account of a great journalistic tradition.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 维克多•纳伐斯基是美国知名编辑、作家和教师，三十年来，他一直是《国家》杂志的掌陀人。《观点不同的问题》是对他从事记者行业的反思，也是一部富有激情、有煽动性论调的政治文献。他认为杂志是否有独立的思想关系到国家民主生活的健康。不管是在他上学期间创立的讽刺杂志《Monocle》，还是在《纽约时报》，或者最后在《国家》杂志，他始终保持着对政治的高度关注，坚守知识分子的价值观。在《观点不同的问题》中，他讲述了如何创造性的维持杂志的运营，如何使版面生动活泼同时又真实可靠。他还在杂志中见缝插针地加入了一些难忘的小故事，有的是关于他的同事，有的是关于他的对手。尽管维克多•纳伐斯基有时会遇到一些媒体公司的威胁，但是与他取得的成就相比，这些都显得无足轻重了。《观点不同的问题》给我们展现了伟大的记者的传统，文笔风趣而富有激情。
