Summary: Grad student at USC
Comment: Payne is by far one the the experts of the Kent State tragedy. Mayday also contains the personal papers and accounts of the students who were killed - due to Payne's close relationship with the families. The book also hits at the concept of Payne - which he calls "mediated reality," how the media through their reporting determines "reality" for the viewing/reading public. This is especially important given the role of docudramas in portraying history on television. Payne was an historical consultant for NBC's award winning "Kent State," and there is a chapter on troubling concepts involved in history being presented via a dramatic, commercial medium like television.

Payne wrote his dissertation on Kent State at Illinois and has been an international expert on the event.
