With new opportunities to engage audiences, female journalists repurposed the masculine tradition of journalistic writing by bringing together intimate forms of rhetoric and pedagogy to create innovative new dialogues. \u003ci\u003eRhetorical Education in Turn-of-the-Century U.S. Women's Journalism \u003c\/i\u003eilluminates the pedagogical contributions of three newspaperwomen to show how the field became a dynamic site of public participation, relationship building, education, and activism in the 1880s and 1890s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Grace Wetzel introduces us to the work of Omaha correspondent Susette La Flesche Tibbles (Inshta Theamba), African American newspaper columnist Gertrude Bustill Mossell, and white middle-class reporter Winifred Black (\"Annie Laurie\"). Journalists by trade, these three writers made the mass-circulating newspaper their site of teaching and social action, inviting their audiences and communities--especially systematically marginalized voices--to speak, write, and teach alongside them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Situating these journalists within their own specific writing contexts and personas, Wetzel reveals how Mossell promoted literacy learning and community investment among African American women through a reader-centered pedagogy; La Flesche modeled relational news research and reporting as a survivance practice while reporting for the \u003ci\u003eOmaha Morning World-Herald\u003c\/i\u003e at the time of the Wounded Knee Massacre; and Black inspired public writing and activism among children from different socioeconomic classes through her \"Little Jim\" story. The teachings of these figures serve as enduring examples of how we can engage in meaningful public literacy and ethical journalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grace Wetzel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080933867X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780809338672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Southern Illinois University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.68d","brand":"Grace Wetzel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070847381759,"sku":"9780809338672","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2f8473d-668a-4f2e-8b66-c2f6d463f44f.jpg?v=1685432687","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rhetorical-education-in-turn-of-the-century-us-grace-wetzel-9780809338672","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
