studies
David
Halberstam's classic The Powers That Be (New York,
Knopf 79) is a picture by the leading US journalist of the
Washington Post, CBS, New York Times
and LA Times at the peak of the 'television age'.
It's greatly superior to the more recent Paper Tigers
(London, Heinemann 93) by Nicholas Coleridge, supplying
chatty profiles of the Sulzbergers, Rothermeres, Grahams,
Coxs, Aga Khans and less prominent nabobs. Piers
Brendon, in The Life & Death of the Press Barons
(London, Secker & Warburg 82), pronounced the barons
dead; we suggest that the species survives and is
disguised by better tailors. David Rudenstine's The Day
the Presses Stopped: A History of The Pentagon Papers Case
(Berkeley, Uni of California Press 96) is an excellent
introduction to the interplay between beancounters,
proprietors, journos and lawyers in dealing with 'national
interest' disputes.
The NY Times has collected numerous corporate and
family biographies, of which the most approachable are
probably The Trust: The Private & Powerful Family
Behind the New York Times (New York, Little Brown 99)
by Susan Tifft & Alex Jones and The Kingdom &
The Power (New York, Random House 69) by Gay Talese.
Edwin Diamond's Behind the Times (New York, Villard
93) presents an insightful portrait of the Grey Lady 'in
crisis' - from a strategic perspective we wonder whether
all great newspapers are perpetually in crisis.
