Product Information
Award-winning journalist Judy Muller takes the reader on a grassroots tour of rural American newspapers, from an Indian reservation in Montana to the Alaska tundra to Martha's Vineyard. Filled with characters both quirky and courageous, the book is a heartening reminder that there is a different kind of ""bottom line"" in the hearts of journalists who keep churning out good stories, week after week.

"Emus Loose in Egnaris what Mark Twain might have written if he had taken better care of himself and lived long enough to meet the collection of loners and lunatics in this book. I laughed until I cried, because I have been there."Richard Reeves, author ofDaring Young Menand the founding editor of thePhillipsburg(NJ)Free Press, "[ Emus Loose in Egnar is an] engaging account of local journalism outside the major urban hubs. Without the muscle of a big-city newspaper-or the benefit of working at arm's length from public officials and advertisers-the passionate lunatics who put out America's small-town weeklies labor to keep local politicians honest while coping with anger, threats, pleading, exhaustion, poverty and, often, instead of gratitude, cold shoulders from neighbors on the checkout line at the IGA."-Daniel Akst, Wall Street Journal, "Readers of this book, which is a rare combination of important and entertaining , will be surprised to discover how much small-towners have to teach the rest of us about life, and how much their local weekly newspapers have to teach big-city news media about survival."Bill Geist, correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning and best-selling author of Way Off the Road: Discovering the Peculiar Charms of Small-Town America, "Readers of this book, which is a rare combination ofimportantandentertaining, will be surprised to discover how much small-towners have to teach the rest of us about life, and how much their local weekly newspapers have to teach big-city news media about survival."Bill Geist, correspondent forCBS Sunday Morningand best-selling author ofWay Off the Road: Discovering the Peculiar Charms of Small-Town America, "Very occasionally under threat of violence, more often facing social isolation or financial pressure, these rural journalists' devotion to truth-telling keeps the First Amendment alive and communities connected in grassroots America."- Kirkus, "[ Emus Loose in Egnar is an engaging account of local journalism outside the major urban hubs.

It may even lower your big city blood pressure."-Jonathan Rickard, New York Journal of Books, "Readers of this book, which is a rare combination of "important" and "entertaining", will be surprised to discover how much small-towners have to teach the rest of us about life, and how much their local weekly newspapers have to teach big-city news media about survival."- Bill Geist, correspondent for "CBS Sunday Morning" and best-selling author of Way Off the Road: Discovering the Peculiar Charms of Small-Town America"Emus Loose in Egnar" is what Mark Twain might have written if he had taken better care of himself and lived long enough to meet the collection of loners and lunatics in this book.
