The Rhetorica Network offers analysis and commentary about the rhetoric, propaganda, and spin of journalism and politics, including analysis of presidential speeches and election campaigns. This site features the Rhetorica: Press-Politics Journal web log, comprehensive news media links, a rhetoric textbook, a primer of critical techniques, and information for citizens. The character of Rhetorica represents the purposes and canons of classical rhetoric. --Andrew R. Cline, Ph.D.
I think we’d all be better off if news organizations took pot-shots (def.: in-depth reporting and cogent criticism) at each other. What would journalism look like if a news organization asserted itself as the best–ethically and professionally–and then proceeded to criticize its competition for not measuring up?
Or how about this: Make covering media a beat–not just the focus of a few columnists.
