USING MY WORD POWER: Advocating For A More Civilized Society, Book III: Justice and Equality

This is Book III, Justice and Equality, in the Real Advocacy Journalism® series. Book I focused on Ethics and Values (2022). Book II addressed Patriotism and Politics (2024). Books I and II have received and continue to receive great editorial and customer reviews.

I have been an advocate journalist for more than four decades.

         

The writings of an advocate journalist always boil down, directly, or indirectly, intentionally, or unintentionally, to a plea-imploring the reader or listener to think, to consider the facts, the circumstances, the workable solutions for the issues at hand, and when appropriate and necessary to engage in action.

           

I have primarily addressed some of the most enduring issues when it comes to justice and equality of our times. But I have also addressed the temporal-pressing matters of the hour.

All commentaries, written over the decades, have been chosen for their enduring relevancy in terms of their subject matter's timeliness or timelessness. Many represent historical accounts of defining moments, incidents, and issues that have had lasting impacts and lessons learned.

They have been written for a large radio station, a major metropolitan daily newspaper, and community newspapers, and are currently online.

In my writings, I have endeavored to practice the tenets of Real Advocacy Journalism® -stick to the facts, analyze them, put an event, situation, or issue into perspective to foster a better understanding and provide direction to form an opinion or pursue an action. Real Advocacy Journalism® is the focus of my book, Shaping Public Opinion: How Real Advocacy Journalism® Should Be Practiced (2021).

My hope is that in sharing my attempt to improve understanding about issues that impact us all, you will be informed, enlightened, inspired, and have reaffirmation that our words and actions are what advance a more civilized and better society.
