First Edition, Later Printing "Few American newspapers – and perhaps none at all in the view of some students of the craft – have matched the many excellences of the New York Herald Tribune. In the crispness of its writing and editing, the bite of its critics and commentators, the range of its coverage, and the clarity of its typography, the 'Trib' (as media people and many of its readers affectionately called it) raised newspapering to an art form. It had an influence and importance out of all proportion to its circulation. Abraham Lincoln valued its support so highly during the Civil War he went to great lengths to retain the allegiance of its co-founder Horace Greeley. And President Eisenhower felt it was so significant a national institution and Republican organ that while in the White House he helped broker the sale of the paper to its last owner, multimillionaire John Hay Whitney. From Karl Marx to Tom Wolfe, its list of staffers and contributors was spectacularly distinguished, including Walter Lippmann, Dorothy Thompson, Virgil Thomson, Eugenia Sheppard, Red Smith, Heywood Broun, and Joseph and Stewart Alsop. At the close of World War II, the Herald Tribune, which represented the marriage of two newspapers that, in their early years, had done more than any others to create modern journalism, was at its apex of power and prestige. Yet just twenty-one years later, its influence still palpable in every newsroom across the nation, the Tribune was gone. It is this story – of a great American daily’s rise to international renown and its doomed fight for survival in the world’s media capital – that is the one Richard Kluger tells in this comprehensive and fascinating book" [from the dust jacket] ISBN: 0394508777 Book is in Fine/As New Condition: pages bright, clean, tight, and unmarked.
