Reviews of Behind the Headlines
"This is a comprehensive exploration of the historical and philosophical foundations of journalism enlivened by colourful anecdotes from the struggles to report some of the hard stories of our time. It is a rich blend of scholarship and anecdote, a rare insight into the minds and motivations of people who report --- and sometimes make --- the commodity we call news."
Linden MacIntyre, Host, CBC's the fifth estate
“In an era of superficial, celebrity-driven media, Cecil Rosner reminds us of what journalism can and should be. In this insightful and important book, Rosner alerts us to the crucial role journalism can play in challenging the powerful.”
Linda McQuaig, Author and Journalist
"From the firebrand exposés of William Lyon Mackenzie in the 1830s to the CBC’s Connections investigations of organized crime, the National Post’s pursuit of Shawinigate and the Globe and Mail’s uncovering of the Liberal sponsorship scandal, Behind the Headlines is not only a welcome addition to the history of Canadian journalism but a rollicking good read. Cecil Rosner recreates the detective work that led to corruption and injustice being brought to light, cataloguing the motives and methods of the whistleblowers, the wrongdoers and the journalists who doggedly pursued stories that powerful interests wanted to keep hidden. In doing so, he charts the evolution of investigative techniques, and provides a salutary reminder that this type of journalistic vigilance is essential to the wellbeing of a democracy. There will always be unscrupulous souls bent on lining their own pockets or using power for personal gain. Let us hope there will always be scrupulous journalists, skilled and inquisitive, and driven by nothing more than an ideal of the public good."
Christopher Dornan, Carleton University

Is this fair? because of this my life has suffured greatly and the pain is almost unbearable. however basically the end result of my trial was the judge withdrew myself on my behalf without my consent.
