Launched in fall 1995 by Frances Moore Lappe and Paul Martin Du Bois, it has found some believers among jouranlism educators and editors. Many say such an approach is vital to news reporting's future, though one contributor notes his own ambivalence over positive, non-sexy stories.Citation DetailsTitle: A foray into "hope journalism."Author: Christine KentPublication: American Journalism Review (Refereed)Date: January 1, 1996Publisher: University of MarylandVolume: v18 Issue: n1 Page: p17(1)Distributed by Thomson Gale
