Brooke Gladstone and David Boardman, June 8
NPR's Brooke Gladstone guides nearly one million weekly listeners through the distortions and complexities of the modern media. Now, in a new work of graphic nonfiction, Gladstone bursts onto the page as an illustrated character in vivid comics drawn by acclaimed artist Josh Neufeld. The cartoon of Gladstone conducts the reader through two millennia of media history, from the newspapers in Caesar's Rome to the penny press of the American Revolution and the manipulations of contemporary journalism.
