Criticism from historians of his book "Killing Lincoln" has not deterred Fox host Bill O'Reilly (r.) from writing a new book about the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Fox host Bill O’Reilly has announced he’ll be releasing a book this fall on the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy.

The book, which will be titled “Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot,” will be O’Reilly’s second focusing on a presidential assassination. O’Reilly’s book “Killing Lincoln” is still on the bestseller list, despite charges from historians that the book contains some historical inaccuracies.

O’Reilly said in a statement that his new book, which, like “Killing Lincoln,” will be written with Martin Dugard, will “answer many questions” about the assassination of the president.

“Killing Kennedy” will be released by Henry Holt and Company and will come out sometime this fall, the company said.

A version of “Killing Lincoln” for children, titled “Lincoln’s Last Days,” will be released this August, said the publishing company.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
