Decommissioned library book Foxing on book ledge Mylar wrapped book jacket Tom Kelly Morrow, 1983 - Journalists - 320 pages Tom Kelly, who began his career in 1939 as a copy-boy on The Washington Post, tells candidly how one of the best-known institutions of power really behaves. Based on interviews with current and past staff members, he shows how once a rag paper, it became rich and powerful through the efforts of a determined family -- Eugene and Agnes Meyer, Philip and Katharine Graham, as well as the two reporters Bernstein and Woodward who cracked Watergate and the current publisher Donald Graham. He also shows how the paper has developed a reputation for both reckless and opinionated journalism, as well as for fearless and penetrative investigative reporting. ISBN 0-688-01919-6 :
