Main Street Militants

“There is a core of ‘fighting weekly newspaper editors’ that take up the cause at great personal sacrifice and peril. This book is about some of them, and it is inspiring.”—Robert H. Sollen, Santa BarbaraNews-Press

“This anthology of courage ought to be in both academic and public—especial­ly small town—libraries, for the out­rageous events mainly took place in small towns.”—Choice

“Main Street Militants should be read in every journalism school to encourage more than the normal two percent of graduates to enter a field that needs cul­tivating. It should also be read by ma­ture journalists.”—Houstoun Waring, Nieman Reports
