INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.

 

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed James B. Steele.

On a recent Price of Business Show, Price visited with Pulitzer Price and NY Times Best Selling Author, James B. Steele about his seminal work, updated for the 21st century. The book was co-authored with Donald L. Barlett.

In a statement from the publisher:


“Starting with their first project in 1971, Barlett and Steele specialized in systematically researching, analyzing and writing about the complex issues and institutions that profoundly affect American life.
 They worked together as an investigative reporting team for more than 40 years, first at the Philadelphia Inquirer (1971-1997), at Time Inc. (1997-2006), and then at Vanity Fair. Their work earned them dozens of national awards. They are the only reporting team ever to have received two Pulitzer Prizes for newspaper reporting and two National Magazine Awards for magazine work.

“Barlett and Steele also pioneered the use of reporting methods now standard in the profession. In 1972, they used a computer to analyze more than 1,000 cases of violent crime in Philadelphia. “Crime and Injustice” was the largest computer-assisted project of its time and was widely replicated by other journalists for years afterward.

“Steele was born in Hutchinson, Kansas, on January 3, 1943, and grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. A graduate of the University of Missouri at Kansas City, he began his journalism career at the Kansas City Times, where he covered labor, politics and urban affairs before moving to The Philadelphia Inquirer in 1970. After 27 years as an investigative reporter at The Inquirer, he joined Time in 1997. In 2006, he became a contributing editor of Vanity Fair. Steele is married and has a daughter.”
