The Gray Lady Winked

Ashley Rindsberg

History / Media

Ten case studies of how the New York Times's reporting failures—from Walter Duranty's coverups of Stalin's famine to Iraq WMD reporting—shaped 20th-century history. Balaji puts it on a tier with The Sovereign Individual and calls it required reading for anyone who wants to understand legacy media.
