Talk:Harvey Molotch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is clear and lucid. Of course, it's also propaganda for the person being depicted. The smirking photo points to his role in crafting, not a biography, but an autobiography and all the limits therein. However, his hand is also hidden, suggesting that the pages in Wikipeida hide their biases by hiding their authors.

While the above comment is understandable, it is wrong. As one of the authors of this article, I can assure you that Molotch no hand in it, and had no idea that it was being written. Without Molotch's cooperation, the article took a great deal of time for the authors to construct. It is meant to be an objective introduction to Molotch's diverse corpus of influential work and our sense from many readers is that it succeeds. With regard to the photo referred to above, it was obtained from Molotch's publisher (the photographer signed the necessary release) and once again Moltoch had no role in its acquisition.
