Editorial Reviews
Review
Chronologically, the items range from a 1974 article for CJR about the Nixon administration's clumsy effort to cover up an FBI check on him, to the title article, dated 1998, in which he reflects on being eight-one. The most interesting revelation is in a presentation to the Hillel Jewish Student Center at Michigan State in 1997; he remarks that he might well have worked for The New York Times rather than CBS had he not been barred by the Times's temporary freeze in 1953 on the hiring of Jews as foreign correspondents, purportedly because the paper was short of non-Jewish correspondents to cover Arab countries in case of a war in the Middle-East. He tells this tale, as always, without malice. -- Columbia Journalism Review, September/October 1998
He makes clear that integrity--not some textbook version of objectivity--has always been his primary obligation... -- The New York Times Book Review, Ford Burkhart
Product Description
This book comprises a collection of Mr. Schorr's papers, articles and speeches from his illustrious career in written and broadcast journalism beginning with the FBI investigation that would become part of the Articles of Impeachment of President Nixon, through the Cold War and the prosecution of the Gulf War, to the progressive devolution of the news into sensationalistic entertainment. This collection also contains Mr. Schorr's reflections on the role of media in society, the effects of television on the development of the journalistic craft, privacy and secrecy, the First Amendment, and government suppression of information.
