W. Davis Merritt W. Davis "Buzz" Merritt Jr. was editor of "The Wichita Eagle" from 1975 through 1998. He is considered one of the fathers of public journalism, a reform movement that urged journalists to do their jobs in ways that could help citizens engage in public life rather than discouraging them. A major component of public journalism is to train journalists to view events from the citizen's perspective rather than that of the participants in the news. Merritt is the author of three books on journalism, "Public Journalism and Public Life," "The Two W's of Journalism" (with Maxwell McCombs), and his latest, "", a critique of corporate ownership of newspapers that reserves its most pointed criticism for Knight Ridder, the company that owned "The Wichita Eagle" and his employer for 43 years.
