Her findings trigger rebellions across the country by journalists working at Alden-owned newspapers. Backed by the NewsGuild union, the newsmen and women go toe-to-toe with their “vulture capitalist” owners in a battle to save and rebuild local journalism in America. Who will control the future of America’s news ecosystem: Wall Street billionaires concerned only with profit, or those who see journalism as an essential public service, the lifeblood of our democracy? “The collapse of local news is a deep threat to democracy and the fabric of communities. But we can't turn this around without comprehending how we got here. Stripped for Parts vividly shows the causes and consequences of the decimation of community journalism.” - Steve Waldman, Founder and President, Rebuild Local NewsMode of access: World Wide Web.

Jade city / by Lee, Fonda,author.;
Jade is the lifeblood of the island of Kekon. It has been mined, traded, stolen, and killed for -- and for centuries, honorable Green Bone warriors like the Kaul family have used it to enhance their magical abilities and defend the island from foreign invasion. Now, the war is over and a new generation of Kauls vies for control of Kekon's bustling capital city. They care about nothing but protecting their own, cornering the jade market, and defending the districts under their protection. Ancient tradition has little place in this rapidly changing nation. When a powerful new drug emerges that lets anyone -- even foreigners -- wield jade, the simmering tension between the Kauls and the rival Ayt family erupts into open violence. The outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all Green Bones -- from their grandest patriarch to the lowliest motorcycle runner on the streets -- and of Kekon itself. Jade city begins an epic tale of family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of jade and blood"--

Rebel : a legend novel / by Lu, Marie,1984-;
Eden Wing is a brilliant student. He's about to graduate a year early from Ross University of the Sciences, with honors, and already has an internship lined up back in the Republic. But most people don't introduce Eden this way. Instead, they say, 'This is Eden, Daniel Wing's younger brother.' Ten years ago, Eden's brother Daniel was known as Day, the boy from the streets who led a revolution that saved the Republic of America. He went from being a hunted criminal to a national hero in less than a year. Day has spent the past decade piecing together his memory of his time in the Republic, pretending to enjoy life in Antarctica's capital, Ross City, and quietly hiding out from the world, even if it's meant giving up June, the great love of his life. As long as he can keep his little brother safe, that's all that matters. But Eden isn't safe. As the two brothers struggle to accept who they've each become, they grow more distant from one another than they've ever been. LSC
