A Word of Explanation . . .

Well, I never intended to be gone quite this long, and if any of you are still checking in, I owe you a word of explanation.

I stopped posting a bit back, without meaning for the pause to last for more than a day or two. But what I came to realize is this: I'm genuinely not burned out on blogging. But the longer my little pause went on the clearer it became that the pressure of trying to post daily, keep up with my courses, and work on the writing project I've mentioned to you periodically, has really started to wear of late.

Now is perhaps the time to tell you that my writing project is a book which I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear is on the topic of terrorism and the press. I would like very much to have a workable draft by the end of this semester, and to that end have been making several trips to conduct interviews (and will be making several more.)

So while, as I say, I'm not burned out on the blog, and don't wish to quit, what I finally realized yesterday is that I do need to take a bit of a break. Many of the arguments you've seen made here will appear in the book, although in the more elaborate form that is possible in a book length-work, so while I'm deeply appreciate of the support and loyalty you've shown me (and I have to admit I feel a bit as if I'm abandoning you) I hope you'll understand why I feel it's important for now to focus my energy in a single direction.

I'm not sure how long I need to break for; I'll keep paying the bills around here so that the archives stay available and so that I have the option of posting now and again if something big comes up or the spirit should move or who knows what, and I'll keep you posted on progress on the book.

Thank you all again for all your support and graciousness and consideration over the years, I've been deeply touched by it, and often buoyed by it: I'll be back as soon as I can, and I hope you understand why I need to make this move at this time.

All my best,

Cori

I hope the book gets the Pulitzer Prize your outstanding analyses of media coverage of terrorism deserves! Good luck!

Can we pre-order yet for signed copies?

We will miss your daily comments, but understand your position. Will look forward to buying your book.

I don't think anybody else has done a book-length work on the subject.
Any one example is dismissed as an aberration, generally by purposely ignoring the quite large number of "aberrations".

A book on the subject will be able to address that tactic.

Best of luck.

You have long led the intellectual charge in this area, an your work has been more influential than you know. Hope that the book project goes well and your focus invigorates your unique insight and analysis.

Keep up the fight, however you wish and feel you may serve best. Please remember that where you lead, others follow.

I know the demands of keeping a 'blog going when the real world clamors about you... Have you considered writing the book online?

Looking forward to buying the book (plus extra copies for the local library and newspaper). Will eagerly accept any morsels you throw up on the blog in the meantime. Good luck.

Just returned and caught my breath from a research trip, and found these lovely and warming comments. As always, your support and understanding amazes and motivates me more than you can know. My goal is to produce a work that will live up to both that support and trust and to the gracious help I'm being given from a variety of sources. I'll let you know as there are any particularly newsworthy developments; in the meantime, again, I can't thank you enough for these comments and for all the statements of support over the time this site has been up.

I hope to be back as soon as possible, and I hope to have news of the book project as quickly as possible as well.

All my best --

Prof. Dauber,

Keep after the book, darlin'. We'll all be waiting to read it. We may not always agree. But I have faith that you'll do a good job on the subject and look forward to reading this book on this specific topic. Good luck, ma'am.

You've been a great resource Cori, blog when you feel
like, don't when you don't.

All the best on the new book!

In these days of rss feeds, it's easy to follow your blog and stop by whenever you post something. As a blogger myself, I fully understand what you're going through. Since this is a second or even third job, it has to take a back seat to the first (and perhaps second) job.

Looking forward to future items here, but if I can make a recommendation, can you put this explanation up on your main page? Right now it comes up blank, and if nobody checks your archives, it could be confusing.

Cori, check out the third item:

A Reuterville 'Debate'
http://www.opinionjournal.com/best/?id=110009087


Reuters failed to disclose Rachel Meeropol's history.

Journalistic malpractice at its best...

Miss ya! But I know what you mean about overload, and the potential for burnout. Sometimes the best thing is just to cut back a bit.

I want a signed copy of your book, when it's out. Trade for a signed copy of _Watchdog_? Deal! (K?)

Sounds like an interesting read. I look forward to buying a copy when you publish.

Hello friends! i new on your forum!
see ya:))

"He explains his customary method of approach. As soon as the musical idea is there, as many keyboards as possible are connected to the control-desk, which in turn are directly connected to the applicable tracks of the multi-trackmachine.

Cool but you gots to see it from my perspective i.e. China is a superpower.

McCain’s rigorous (perhaps intentionally) mind numbing ethnographic collage of disjointed people, places, ideas, and excuses disguised as discoveries, collectively encompass humanity’s innate desire for escapism, commutation, and euphoria, as it is ironically rumored he secretly prays for and yearns for damnation, an implicitly tragic reunion with the checkered demons of his lost humanity, who led him internally most of his inutile adult life in a fog of substance abuse and denial (he still won’t cop to the anal rape incident in prison).
It affords him nowhere to hide existentially, so the pathetic buggerer hides beneath his wife’s skirt. The question is how low is he willing to go for “victory” or, for that matter, can he go lower? Will he end up a pasty Reagan-like figure, hopelessly trying to gain some semblance of integrity and significance selling spoiled meat in cans, or will he obssess creep-like on pseudo-projections of female pudenda as it relates to overgrown “bush” in some backwater pisshole in Texas, no longer concerned nor troubling himself with how far he has fallen, like the current dickless moron presently residing in the dank and primordial swamp.

My I post!
