Fedler (journalism, U. of Central Florida) recounts some of the most charming media hoaxes from the beginning of mass media to the late 20th century, many perpetrated by then-journalists who went on to fame in media or literary careers--including, Franklin, Poe, Twain, and De Quille. Ends with a gloomy report of the new ethics--hoaxers risk their jobs (unless, of course, they already write for the tabloids). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
