Once Upon Dickson tells the story of Dickson Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas, the colorful and ever-changing link between the center of town and the University campus. Carefully researched, it will appeal to a large popular audience of residents and visitors to the city's premier entertainment district and to University personnel and alumni, for whom it is as memorable in their college experience as Old Main or Razorback Stadium. In a time when Dickson Street is undergoing radical change, the book serves as a reminder that the street has been changing almost from the earliest time in its history. Residences, churches, public institutions, and businesses have come, gone, and sometimes come again, but because of its location, Dickson Street remains at the heart of Fayetteville.
The growth of the public relations industry means that journalists do their jobs in a different environment and under far different conditions than before. Organizations and individuals in the news are now likely to be represented by professional managers of the news. The purpose of this text is to provide students with the means to think critically about the sources they use to gather news; to analyze the self-interests news sources have in the dissemination of a story; and to ask the questions necessary to understand the "true picture" of what the news means.
