Thank you Alan. Hard to resist reposting this.
Thanks to @adamnagourney for writing (over 7 years) this enthralling history of The New York Times since 1976. The most enjoyable book about a newspaper/news organisation I've read since Stick It Up Your Punter!, the story of a very different paper (The Sun). Hugely recommended
