Some authors write books without citing people. Others follow more academic, research-oriented approaches to documentation. In the spirit of journalism, it seems important to acknowledge sources, and give them credit for their work. The following 100 plus bloggers and online personalities were cited in Welcome to the Fifth Estate‘s 180+ footnotes.
The book itself, which has been delayed by a couple weeks, finally went to press yesterday. A big thank you to each and everyone of them! In all fairness, the best way to say thanks was to give them some old fashioned public acknowledgement and link love.
Before we get to the lists of sources, I also want to thank Jennifer Goode Stevens, Bill Sledzik and Tom Livingston (yes, Dad) for editing and making suggestions. Another special thank you should be provided to my business partner Kami Huyse, who drafted the chapter on measurement. Thank you to Adam Ostrow for writing an excellent introduction to Welcome to the Fifth Estate! And finally, Ike Pigott, a great friend, actually named the book after reading some draft material on my blog.
Independently, none of these sources shaped the book’s direction. Collectively, with several news reports and books mixed in, they are the very fabric of the text. While the endnotes in the text cite every individual work, the ensuing list either provides a link to one of the pieces cited or an author’s social property.
