A Reporter's World

Wally Gordon

4.9/5 (9123 ratings)

Description:Wally Gordon writes, "Journalism, as I have always wanted to practice it, and sometimes succeeded in doing so, is a kind of dance on rough waves, a balancing act between observation and interpretation, between obscurity and involvement… Those stories that meant the most to me are those where I felt involved in the telling."A journalist who has covered a myriad of topics from the Watergate Scandal in Washington, D.C. to potential nuclear disasters in New Mexico, Wally Gordon explores his involvement – emotional, intellectual, and political – in the people and vistas he has experienced throughout his career. His series of essays A Reporter's World: Passions, Places, and People illuminates Gordon's adventures – and misadventures – from riding on turtles' backs off the coast of Isla Mujeres in Mexico to embarking on a "familiarization tour" for the press in Chihuahua's seemingly dangerous environs; from joining a Washington, D.C. neighborhood as it blocked off an alleyway and cobbled together a potluck Christmas dinner to discovering the humanity in death at the end of his dog's life.A Reporter's World is marked by clean, evocative prose and Wally Gordon's defining axiom – words are power. Each vignette that illustrates Gordon's colorful life is laced with reflection and impressions on the controversial social, environmental, and political evolutions to which Gordon has been witness. Central to A Reporter's World are Gordon's reflections on the Rio Grande River and the symbiotic societies that line it; the United States' relationship to conquest; the disconnect between the land and the politics attempting to dominate it; New Mexico's economic disparities; and, ultimately, the impermanence of the things we cherish.In A Reporter's World, Wally Gordon invites readers to step away from the familiar and explore new landscapes and ideals: "The safety of home, with all its steady routines, is little more than an illusion. Life is dangerous. The world is full of peril. May it always be that way."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
