The Taipan
A hit man is a rare species in the human race. How and why does someone become a hit man? The Taipan: The Professional is the story of one hit man from birth to retirement. Learn of his early life in Rotterdam, Germany, his introduction and reasons why he chose this profession, as well as why he was successful. Why was this man so special in this unique trade and why did law enforcement fear him so much? What set him apart from all the others? The Taipan was born into extreme poverty. His birth was not acknowledged and he was a lost soul in the slums. Deserted by his parents, his only option was to become a survivor. Despite all the negatives, he did survive to become the notorious Taipan, the invisible hit man. His training with the German underworld, his term in Africa as a mercenary soldier, his self-taught education, his ingenuity and his meticulous methods made him a force feared by law enforcement organizations around the world, because they knew he existed, but could never catch him. Despite his profession, he did have a heart and three women played a major influence in his life. Finally, why did the hit man retire?
Scandalmongers

Although Madison tries to tell Tom that she will eventually turn the ranch back over to him.

In the second story, my younger, beautiful sister, Sylvie, becomes convinced that I am the reason that an older couple had changed their minds and have backed out of selling a house to Sylvie and her fiancé. So Sylvie becomes a scandalmonger when she tells her future father-in-law that I am lazy, that I run around all night, then lay around all day, forcing her to do all the house and yard work. Because of Sylvie's lies, I become homeless, and I am forced to seek refuge in an old, abandoned farmhouse, and not realizing at the time that it is "haunted".

Reshaping the News
Reshaping the News: Community, Engagement, and Editors is the culmination of a six-year search for an economic resolution to the digital business conundrum facing the newspaper industry. Today's media tend to generate journalism with a low immediate newsroom impact, allowing journalists to continue reporting without considering the audience's increasingly dominant role in a story's longevity. This renders newsrooms as managed rather than led, and turns editors into facilitators--managing project-driven journalism, attempting to match publishers' expectations of diversified income streams, and providing reporters with increased autonomy. In fact, newsrooms require a new kind of leadership, on...
Representing

Mass Media
Mass media has become an integral part of the human experience. News travels around the world in a split second affecting people in other countries in untold ways. Although being on top of the news may be good, at least for news junkies, mass media also transmits values or the lack thereof, condenses complex events and thoughts to simplified sound bites and often ignores the essence of an event or story. The selective bibliography gathers the books and magazine literature over the previous ten years while providing access through author, title and subject indexes.
