How The Road To Voyage
Led Elsewhere:
Author And Media Commentator Eric Deggans
By Dw Dunphy
Sometimes unfortunate things
happen for a reason, or so we’re
told. The brass ring that is so close
to being grasped may not be the
one meant for us. It is a comforting thought in moments of disappointment, but there are often far
too few real-life examples to justify the shiny aphorisms. Here’s one.
Eric Deggans is a respected me-
New Jersey Stage
dia commentator for NPR as well
as an accomplished journalist. His
book Race-Baiter: How the Media
Wields Dangerous Words to
Divide a Nation brought Deggans
to wide acclaim and to prominent
television programs like the esteemed public television forum
The Open Mind with Richard D.
Heffner.
