Covering the Body

The Kennedy Assassination, the Media, and the Shaping of Collective Memory

By: Barbie Zelizer

Covering the Body (the title refers to the charge given journalists to follow a president) is a powerful reassessment of the media's role in shaping our collective memory of the assassination--at the same time as it used the assassination coverage to legitimize its own role as official interpreter of American reality. Of the more than fifty reporters covering Kennedy in Dallas, no one actually saw the assassination. And faced with a monumentally important story that was continuously breaking, most journalists had no time to verify leads or substantiate reports. Rather, they took discrete moments of their stories and turned them into one coherent narrative, blurring what was and was not "professional" about their coverage.

Annals of the Dragon

Flame of Mechling

By: Barbie Bellinger

The Flame of Mechling is the continuing story of Ranon and his friend, Scootie. Dream interpretation is something not many people think may be important. Ranon certainly didn’t. He was unaware that he had been sleepwalking and having violent nightmares. Using an elixir that the Mystic had made, Ranon was able to remember parts of his dreams that involved his father and a sword. The Mystic made it clear that Ranon must return to his home on the plain to locate the sword. The Flame of Mechling is just one of many items that must be located to break the cycle of the dragon. If the prophecy is to be fulfilled and the sequence is finally obliterated, every item and chosen one must be used to fulfill the prophecy once and for all. About the Author Barbie Bellinger is a licensed massage therapist who enjoys helping people. She likes to read, write, play video games, and go for walks. She is an animal rights activist who believes every animal has the right to live. Cats are her favorite.

The Godmother

Murder, Vengeance, and the Bloody Struggle of Mafia Women

By: Barbie Latza Nadeau

The chilling story of one woman’s rise to prominence in the Italian Mafia, and the as-yet untold stories of the women who followed in her footsteps. For as long as it has gripped our imaginations, the Mafia has been tied to an ingrained image of masculinity. We read about "made men," "wiseguys," and "goodfellas" leading criminal organizations whose culture prizes machismo, with women as ancillary and often-powerless characters: trivialized mistresses and long-suffering mob wives. The reality is far more complex. In The Godmother, investigative journalist Barbie Latza Nadeau tells the stories of the women who have risen to prominence, and fallen out of favor, in the Italian mob, beginning with the most infamous of these women: Pupetta Maresca. A Mafia woman born and raised, Pupetta avenged her husband’s murder, firing 29 shots at the man who killed him. Woven throughout Pupetta's story is Nadeau's diligent research, and her personal interviews with the Mafia women themselves. Nadeau takes readers inside the Mafia families to paint a complete and complex portrait of the real culture that has shaped the Mafia, and the women who are part of it. Leaving behind the stereotypes we know from Mafia movies, The Godmother shows the Mafia in an entirely new light: full-fledged, ruthless, twenty-first-century criminal enterprises led by whoever is strong enough and smart enough to take control.

About to Die

How News Images Move the Public

By: Barbie Zelizer

Due to its ability to freeze a moment in time, the photo is a uniquely powerful device for ordering and understanding the world. But when an image depicts complex, ambiguous, or controversial events--terrorist attacks, wars, political assassinations--its ability to influence perception can prove deeply unsettling. Are we really seeing the world "as it is" or is the image a fabrication or projection? How do a photo's content and form shape a viewer's impressions? What do such images contribute to historical memory? About to Die focuses on one emotionally charged category of news photograph--depictions of individuals who are facing imminent death--as a prism for addressing such vital questions. Tracking events as wide-ranging as the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, the Holocaust, the Vietnam War, and 9/11, Barbie Zelizer demonstrates that modes of journalistic depiction and the power of the image are immense cultural forces that are still far from understood. Through a survey of a century of photojournalism, including close analysis of over sixty photos, About to Die provides a framework and vocabulary for understanding the news imagery that so profoundly shapes our view of the world.

Skeemin On Tha Low - 2

By: Black Barbie

Betrayal can truly become the epitome of any friendship and it can also become the failure of someone's trust if one person allows another person with an opportunity to step in and try to divide them. Money and greed will always become the part of any conclusion or it can be the reason for a person to defuse a battle and reconcile their friendship, along with a few of the other sustainable differences. After being alone in prison for more than ten years, Cherry had grown to understand herself, along with an opportunity to redefine herself and understand the true definition of friendship. Desperate to have another chance at freedom, Cherry had thought about switching over and working with the feds.

Taking Journalism Seriously

News and the Academy

By: Barbie Zelizer

Taking Journalism Seriously: News and the Academy argues that scholars have remained too entrenched within their own disciplinary areas resulting in isolated bodies of scholarship. This is the first book to critically survey journalism scholarship in one volume and organize it by disparate fields. The book reviews existing journalism research in such diverse fields as sociology, history, language studies, political science, and cultural analysis and dissects the most prevalent and understated research in each discipline.

So You Want to Change the World?

The Power of Expectation

By: Don Nori,Patricia King,Abby H. Abildness,Adam Li Vecchi,Dorsey Marshall,Susan East,Lisa Jo Greer,Doug Alexander,Barbie Breathitt,Jim Wilbur,Rob Corscia

So You Want to Change the World? is a compilation of twelve authors’ perspectives on how you can make a positive difference in your world.

The Secret Place is the key to hearing Heaven’s heartbeat and bringing God’s will to earth. Change can come through miracles, worship, and intercession. The essays reflect a variety of inspiring and exciting thought from Patricia King’s exhortation to “go for it” to Doug Alexander’s in-depth look at Psalm 45. You are encouraged and will be motivated to think and act beyond your normal routine and traditions—stretching yourself for the sake of bettering your world for His glory.

Roadmap to Hell

Sex, Drugs and Guns on the Mafia Coast

By: Barbie Latza Nadeau

From sex slaves to drug mules, The Daily Beast's Rome Bureau Chief uncovers a terrifying and intricate web of criminal activity right on Europe’s doorstep. Chasing the money from kidnapped Nigerian hair braiders to ISIS gunrunners, this is the story of modern slavery in Europe and how the plight of those most in need is being wilfully disregarded. Caught between Camorra arms dealers and Nigerian drug gangs along Italy’s attractive coast, each year thousands of refugees and migrants are lured into their murky underworld. In this powerful exposé, investigative journalist Barbie Latza Nadeau follows the weapons trail, meets the sex-trafficked women trapped by black magic, the nuns who try to save them and the Italian police who turn a blind eye as the most urgent issues facing Europe play out in broad daylight.
