The Newspaper in Art presents 400 years of art and media history. Extensively researched, thoroughly annotated and fully indexed, the present volume documents the important role newspapers have played in the development of important art movements. Artists use newspapers as incidental props and minor visual modifiers, but the newspaper attains its highest level of significance in artworks in which it is a key symbol or the sole subject. The Newspaper in Art provides insights into the ways readers and artists interact with news, with journalists and with the newspaper itself. It also illustrates the ingenuity of artists in finding new raw material from which to create art.

* Why "The Wizard of Oz" is one of the greatest leadership training films ever made. * How minor strengths can blind you to a manager's major weaknesses. * Why you can't afford not to train every member of your team. * How to develop a mission statement employees can march to. 
Each chapter is filled with practical lessons on the keys to leadership, including motivational skills, decision making, judgment, planning, competitive strategy, ethics, communication and team building. Each chapter also features helpful sidebars with information about the movie, illustrative examples from actual businesses and elaborations on key concepts.
