Leonard Downie Jr
À propos de ce contenu audio
In 1964, as a 22-year-old Ohio State graduate with working-class Cleveland roots and a family to support, Len Downie landed an internship with the Washington Post. He would become a pioneering investigative reporter, news editor, foreign correspondent, and managing editor, before succeeding the legendary Ben Bradlee as executive editor.
Downie's leadership style differed from Bradlee's, but he played an equally important role over more than four decades in making the Post one of the world's leading news organizations. He was one of the editors on the historic Watergate story and drove coverage of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. He wrestled with the Unabomber's threat to kill more people unless the Post published a rambling 30,000-word manifesto and he published important national security stories in defiance of presidents and top officials. He managed the Post's ascendency to the pinnacle of influence, circulation, and profitability, producing prizewinning investigative reporting with deep impact on American life, before the digital transformation of news media threatened the Post's future.
At a dangerous time, when health and economic crises and partisanship are challenging the news media, Downie's judgment, fairness, and commitment to truth will inspire anyone who wants to know how journalism, at its best, works.

Commentaires
"Downie's memoir could be characterized as a series of war stories best enjoyed by journalists, past and present. This would be a disservice to history lovers who will relish his behind-the-scenes narratives of some of the world's biggest stories during his 44 years at The Washington Post.... "All About the Story: News, Power, Politics, and The Washington Post" is written with history in mind, and Downie's role in bringing it to life for readers. From his account of Watergate and his riveting timeline of the Jonestown massacre to his confrontations with Bill and Hillary Clinton, Downie's book is a celebration of what strong journalism can accomplish. It is also a cautionary tale about what's at stake if our financially imperiled profession does not find new ways to remain viable. Plus, it's full of great gossip."—Connie Schultz, Washington Post
"superb...Downie shows the vital role a free press plays in our democracy. His splendid recounting should be of interest to everyone."—Bookpage
"An absorbing career memoir and an illuminating history of the Post's news coverage during the last 50 years."—Kirkus Starred Review
"Superb...Downie shows the vital role a free press plays in our democracy. His splendid recounting should be of interest to everyone."—Bookpage
"Downie is extremely well-placed to offer a history of the last 50 years in news, from the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., to Watergate, the Jonestown Massacre, Bill Clinton's impeachment, the Unabomber, the Sept. 11 attacks, and the invasion of Iraq. But All About the Story also functions as a primer on journalistic ethics... All About the Story has obvious value for anyone looking to understand the ways news has changed in the past five decades."—NPR.org
"Elegiac.... At a time when the news media itself is increasingly becoming part of the story, this insider take on newsroom culture resonates."—Publishers Weekly
"As befitting a master editor, Downie's memoir is both tight and revelatory....At a time when the press is under relentless attack from the Trump administration, Downie's engrossing memoir reminds readers of the personal sacrifices journalists make in pursuit of a story and the rigorous criteria they apply in delivering the news."—Booklist
"Leonard Downie's colorful and insightful account of a career dedicated to producing honest journalism is exactly what we need in this era when fury and fiction have distorted our politics and even our response to pandemics. His stories provide a great guide not only for a return to better journalism but also to a better society."—Walter Isaacson, author of Leonardo Da Vinci and Steve Jobs
