Increasingly I think journalism is the best avenue in which I can do my small part for the Left. I'd like to compile a list of revolutionary journalists here, of those who didn't simply write the "rough draft of history" but created works of lasting importance.
I'll begin with George Orwell and John Reed.
Orwell
Reed
Who else belongs on a list of the greatest revolutionary journalists? I'd like to read their work for the sake of inspiration.
By that standard anyone who writes for The Nation is a "revolutionary journalist."
