The Paper: The Life and Death of the New York Herald Tribune
by Richard Kluger, Richard Kluger with the assistance of Phyllis Kluger
On This Page
Description
Notes that the newspaper was sympathetic to fascism and Nazism during the 1930s although it also employed Dorothy Thompson, a noted anti-Hitler writer. Pp. 385-389 discuss the "Tribune"'s reluctance to employ Jews or place them in positions of responsibility up to the early 1950s, and the publishing of discriminatory "help wanted" advertisements. These policies are attributed to the social prejudice of Helen Reid, wife of the owner and effective manager of the paper.Tags

With newspapers under threat of extinction as never before this 23 year old book is suddenly timely. It is not a new story, newspaper closures. This history is long, full of detail, and shows the pitfalls of continuing a paper that had become a staple of a large city. The word "computer" is not in the index
