From his column of the same name comes Jon Katz's Media Rants, a collection of essays on the changing nature of media and government and the birth of the online community. Katz is outspoken on a number of wide-ranging topics including the 1996 Presidential election, old media and the threat of the Internet, the life and death of Tupac Shakur, and why The X-Files is the most intelligent show on TV. Engaging and compelling, he is never afraid to provoke fierce responses from his readers or vigorously defend his views under fire--which is not to say that he is unwilling to reevaluate his own views when faced with persuasive arguments to the contrary. It is this continual sense of evolution and transformation that brings Media Rants to life. As a book, it cannot hope to capture the same dynamic as the column, but it is successful in presenting a snapshot of one year in this continually transforming medium. If you're not familiar with Katz's writing, this is a good introduction to one of the more unique and interesting journalistic voices on the Web today.

Synopsis
The culmination of columnist Jon Katz's year in cyberspace as one of the first interactive journalists on the Web, Media Rants dismantles the static, old media empire while exploring the organic qualities of the Web and its direct impact on democracy and the new American civility.
