Wrapping up this book.
When Truth Mattered is the compelling story of how a local newspaper, the
Akron Beacon Journal, reported on the shootings and the aftermath, creating a truthful narrative that has endured, unchanged and unchallenged, for 50 years.
Author Robert Giles, the managing editor who directed the newspaper’s Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage, gives an unforgettable, first- person account of what took place on the Kent State campus and in his newsroom during that fateful time. Just as important, Giles links the meaning of the
Beacon Journal’s truth-telling at Kent State with important lessons for journalism today—a welcome antidote in this poisonous era of alleged “fake news.”
Excellent read. It is a shame to see the Beacon and the American Print Journalism become what it has.
