This is Book I, Ethics and Values, of three books in the Real Advocacy Journalism® series. It has received great editorial reviews from Kirkus Reviews, Midwest Book Reviews, Chanticleer International Book Reviews, and more. As a collection, the selected commentaries, which were written for a large radio station, a major metropolitan daily newspaper, community newspapers, and online publications, are timely – and timeless – snapshots of history. My hope is that in sharing my attempts to improve understanding about issues that impact us all that you will be informed, enlightened, inspired and have reaffirmation that in addition to our beliefs, our words and actions are what advance a more civilized and better society.
