New biography shines a spotlight on a legendary journalist who won one of the last great newspaper wars in the U.S.

A new biography by bestselling biographer, Jane Wolfe, looks at the life and legacy of journalism giant, Burl Osborne. "Burl" chronicles his unlikely rise from the coal mines of Appalachia to the pinnacle of journalism. 

After being diagnosed with a fatal kidney disease as a child, Burl’s remarkable career flourished during the golden age of journalism. He was truly a force to be reckoned with – he chaired the national Associated Press’ board of directors, transformed the Dallas Morning News into a powerhouse news organization and led the way for journalists all over the U.S. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Burl’s passing.

“Burl: Journalism Giant and Medical Trailblazer'' (Sept. 6, Andrews McMeel Publishing), is available for pre-order on Amazon, Bookshop.Org, and  Goodreads. To read an interview with the author and find out more information just click the button below.
