Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Merrill (journalism, University of Missouri) explores the conflict between journalistic license and social control. Drawing on the ideals of philosophers from Herachitus to Hegel, he argues for a synthesis that recognizes the usefulness of tension between opposing values.
