Jim A. Kuypers is a professor of political communication at Virgina Tech. He has authored several publications including Presidential Crisis Rhetoric in the Post Cold War, Press Bias and Politics: How the Media Frame Controversial Issues, and, most recently, Bush's War: Media Bias and Justifications for War in a Terrorist Age. In an interview by the Virginia Tech News, Stephen D. Cooper of Marshall University had this to say of Kuyper's latest release: “Kuypers's book is provocative in the best sense of the word: It can stimulate fresh thinking about presidential rhetoric and press reporting of it—which Kuypers shows can be two very different things.” Alan Jacobs is Chair Professor of English at Wheaton College located in Wheaton, Illinois. Jacobs’ interests and specializations include modern British and British Commonwealth Literature, literary theory, literary criticism, philosophy, and Christian theology. Jacobs has published over half a dozen books, including his latest, Original Sin: A Cultural History in 2008. Jacobs is also an avid blogger, and twitter-er. Refreshingly relevant, delightfully witty, and thoroughly engaging—a great prof to follow! |
