“Ever since Linda J. Lumsden’s incisive biography of Inez Milholland, I have been reading everything she writes. Social Justice Journalism is no exception. Lumsden draws a clear, straight line from the social justice journals of the early twentieth century to the digital social movement advocacy of today that, like its print predecessors, often meets the high journalistic standard of verification.”—Brooke Kroeger, NYU Arthur L.
