Nagourney recounts the paper’s triumphs—the coverage of September 11, the explosion of the U.S. \u003ci\u003eChallenger\u003c\/i\u003e, the scandal of a New York governor snared in a prostitution case—as well as failures that threatened the paper’s standing and reputation, including the discredited coverage of the war in Iraq, the resignation of Judith Miller, the plagiarism scandal of Jayson Blair, and the high-profile ouster of two of its executive editors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on hundreds of interviews and thousands of documents and letters contained in the newspaper’s archives and the private papers of editors and reporters, \u003ci\u003eThe Times \u003c\/i\u003eis an inside look at the essential years that shaped the newspaper. Nagourney paints a vivid picture of a divided newsroom, fraught with tension as it struggled to move into the digital age, while confronting its scandals, shortcomings, and swelling criticism from conservatives and many of its own readers alike. Along the way we meet the memorable personalities—including Abe Rosenthal, Max Frankel, Howell Raines, Joe Lelyveld, Bill Keller, Jill Abramson, Dean Baquet, Punch Sulzberger and Arthur Sulzberger Jr.—who shaped the paper as we know it today. We see the battles between the newsroom and the business operations side, the fight between old and new media, the tension between journalists who tried to hold on to the traditional model of a print newspaper and a new generation of reporters who are eager to embrace the new digital world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImmersive, meticulously researched, and filled with powerful stories of the rise and fall of the men and women who ran the most important newspaper in the nation, \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e is a definitive account of the most pivotal years in \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e history.","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45993772744959,"sku":"9780451499370","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780451499370_s600x595.jpg?v=1775589681","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780451499370","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
