Missing News and Views In Paranoid Times

About the Book

Missing News and Views in Paranoid Times opens minds to new perspectives on current affairs and world events -- people, politics, peace and the press. This anthology features coverage of international issues, events, people and politics -- against the backdrop of Middle East war, and through a lens censored in mainstream news and current affairs coverage. The in-depth stories and analyses comprise three years of Bennett’s hard-hitting, sometimes humorous prose, sometimes a poet’s pain, never manipulative, never inspiring pity or cheap sentiment. Paranoid Times is a magazine of sources never quoted, faces never seen, voices rarely heard, analyses with irony and juxtaposition all tied to current affairs, politics and controversy. A wide audience of readers – including students, journalists, analysts, educators, politicians – will find Missing News and Views In Paranoid Times a deeply informative, compelling and striking read. In Paranoid Times invites readers to shed the paranoia and understand current events with this independently-voiced, thought-provoking exposé.
