Book excerpt: Journalists have often put themselves in danger to convey crucial information to the public. Many journalists have even died doing their jobs, investigating crimes or traveling to battle zones--and sometimes documenting events in their own communities. Recently, reporters have been assaulted, mocked and silenced, their reports dubbed "fake news" and them, "enemies of the people." A free press is one of the country's most reliable foundations for ensuring a democracy for current and future generations. With a focus on American journalism, this book tackles issues affecting today's news through profiling journalists killed on the job, whether from violent conspiracy, terrorism or mass shootings.

Download or read book Pulitzer s Gold written by Roy J. Harris, Jr. and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Joseph Pulitzer Gold Medal for meritorious public service is an unparalleled American media honor, awarded to news organizations for collaborative reporting that moves readers, provokes change, and advances the journalistic profession. Updated to reflect new winners of the Pulitzer Prize for public service journalism and the many changes in the practice and business of journalism, Pulitzer's Gold goes behind the scenes to explain the mechanics and effects of these groundbreaking works. The veteran journalist Roy J. Harris Jr. adds fascinating new detail to well-known accounts of the Washington Post investigation into the Watergate affair, the New York Times coverage of the Pentagon Papers, and the Boston Globe revelations of the Catholic Church's sexual-abuse cover-up. He examines recent Pulitzer-winning coverage of government surveillance of U.S. citizens and expands on underexplored stories, from the scandals that took down Boston financial fraud artist Charles Ponzi in 1920 to recent exposés that revealed neglect at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and municipal thievery in Bell, California. This one-hundred-year history of bold journalism follows developments in all types of reporting—environmental, business, disaster coverage, war, and more.
Download or read book William L Shirer Twentieth Century Journey written by William L. Shirer and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 1934 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in one volume: the three-part autobiography from the National Book Award–winning author of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. The former CBS foreign correspondent and historian provides an invaluable look back at his life—and the events that forged the twentieth century. The Start (1904-1930): In the first of a three-volume series, Shirer tells the story of his early life, growing up in Cedar Rapids, and later serving as a new reporter in Paris. The Nightmare Years (1930-1940): In the second of a three-volume series, Shirer chronicles his time in Europe as Hitler dominated Germany and began one of the most dangerous conflicts in world history. A Native’s Return (1945-1988): The most personal of the three volumes, this edition offers an honest look at the many personal and professional setbacks Shirer experienced after World War II ended—and delivers a fascinating take on the aftermath of the war. Series praise “Mr. Shirer stirs the ashes of memory in a personal way that results in both a strong view of world events and of the need for outspoken journalism. Had Mr. Shirer been merely a bland ‘objective’ reporter without passion while covering Hitler’s Third Reich, this book and his other histories could never have been written.” —The New York Times “Included in Shirer’s well-wrought narrative are such little-known events as the trials of American broadcasters who propagandized for the Third Reich during WWII, as well as such more familiar matters as the McCarthyism of the 1950s. The author’s comments are refreshingly unfettered by self-consciousness . . . A fine, fitting conclusion to an important work of autobiography.” —Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Mystery Man written by Dale Harrington and published by William Rhodes Davis: Nazi Age. This book was released on 2001 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Rhodes Davis was Adolf Hitler's main agent of influence in the United States. Mystery Man tells his strange story for the first time. A superb manipulator, Davis could beguile German leaders while simultaneously receiving the assistance of American labor leader John L. Lewis and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Among his many nefarious deeds was the acquisition of much of the oil Hitler needed to start World War II and the delivery of five million dollars from Germany to the Republican Party for the 1940 presidential campaign. This revealing book tells how powerful American, British, and Mexican business and political leaders helped a talented and complex man serve Hitler while he made and lost and made again millions of dollars. It also looks into the Establishment's attempts to cover up the part that prominent American leaders played in Davis's activities - and perhaps in his mysterious death.
