ENCOUNTER BROADSIDES
Inaugurated in the fall of 2009, Encounter Broadsides are a series of timely pamphlets and e-books from Encounter Books. Uniting an 1 8 th century sense of public urgency and rhetorical wit (think The Federalist Papers, Common Sense) with 21st century technology and channels of distribution, Encounter Broadsides offer indispensable ammunition for intelligent debate on the critical issues of our time. Written with passion by some of our most authoritative authors, Encounter Broadsides make the case for ordered liberty and the institutions of democratic capitalism at a time when they are under siege from the resurgence of collectivist sentiment. Read them in a sitting and come away knowing the best we can hope for and the worst we must fear.

Journalists wrote tributes to themselves about the importance of journalism, and shared the most indignant reactions to Trump on social media. Many media outlets and editors said the president’s insults were renewing their sense of mission. The Washington Post changed its motto to Democracy dies in darkness.
