With a clear writing style that employs plenty of examples, Ted Gottfried begins his discussion by examining the history of homelessness in this country and the difficult issues surrounding the homeless, such as the difficulties involved in getting an accurate count of the homeless, and just who they are and why they are in that situation. The opposing sides of whose problem homelessness is and how the problem should be solved, as well as a discussion of welfare reform and how it affects the homeless, are presented fairly and accurately as readers are invited to formulate their own opinions. The book also includes a list of organizations to contact for more information.
Mass media has become an integral part of the human experience. News travels around the world in a split second affecting people in other countries in untold ways. Although being on top of the news may be good, at least for news junkies, mass media also transmits values or the lack thereof, condenses complex events and thoughts to simplified sound bites and often ignores the essence of an event or story. The selective bibliography gathers the books and magazine literature over the previous ten years while providing access through author, title and subject indexes.
