Page ix PREFACE As a journalist and teacher of journalism, I believe in thorough investigation, analysis, documentation, and a strong conclusion clearly expressed. I do teach a different kind of journalism, advocacy journalism in behalf of the environment, yet hewing to basic principles of literacy, accuracy, fairness, and meeting the deadline. I ask students to heed the words of the late Rachel Carson: "Do your homework. Speak good English. And care a lot." That is what it takes, and what it is about. Advocacy is a word we have been taught to avoid. It marks a bias, something most journalists are convinced should not be acknowledged, despite the fact that it is inescapable. But my point is that we ought to be advocates for the health and safety of the planet, professionally and personally concerned with global warming, acid rain, destruction of tropical and temperate forests, loss of wilderness and wildlife, toxic wastes, pollution of air and water, and population pressures that degrade the quality of life.
