Reporter de Seymour M. Hersh

Reporter

Autor Seymour M. Hersh
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 noi 2019

Observăm în paginile acestui volum un studiu de caz fascinant despre perseverență și rigoare: tânărul Seymour Hersh, care în anii '50 gestiona curățătoria chimică a familiei într-un ghetou din Chicago, ajunge să dicteze agenda publică mondială prin dezvăluiri ce au zguduit fundația Pentagonului. Găsim aici nu doar o biografie, ci un manual nescris de etică și tactici de teren, ilustrat prin momentele în care Hersh obținea întâlniri neautorizate cu oficiali de rang înalt sau cine zgomotoase cu soldați în Hanoi, totul pentru a confirma adevărul din spatele versiunilor oficiale.

Recomandăm această lucrare pentru modul în care analizează mecanismele puterii. Autorul nu se limitează la a povesti succesele, ci expune „munca de jos” — acea combinație de intuiție și efort fizic epuizant necesară pentru a scoate la lumină masacrul de la My Lai sau abuzurile de la Abu Ghraib. Cititorul care a aplicat ideile despre integritate din The Story de Judith Miller va găsi aici piesa care completează tabloul: o perspectivă asupra jurnalismului care nu face compromisuri, nici măcar în fața Secretarilor de Stat disperați să-și salveze imaginea.

În contextul operei sale, Reporter servește drept fundație pentru investigațiile sale ulterioare, precum KILLING OF OSAMA BIN LADEN. Dacă în lucrările anterioare Hersh se concentra pe rezultatul investigației, aici observăm procesul brut, tensiunea apelurilor telefonice nocturne și curajul de a fi un „outsider” permanent în sistemul mediatic de la Washington. Este o cronică a Americii secolului XX, văzută prin ochii omului care a refuzat să accepte tăcerea ca răspuns.

Recenzii

One of America's greatest investigative reporters.
In a city and culture where screeching talk shows and preening columnists have largely supplanted old-fashioned shoe-leather reporting, and most 'investigative reporting' consists of the collection of carefully dispensed leaks, Hersh stands virtually alone.
The most feared investigative reporter in Washington.
If there is a smoking gun lying around the White House, the reporter most likely to find it is Seymour M. Hersh.
A whip-smart, preternaturally energetic outsider who . . . assembled a body of work that helps to radically revise the way Americans see their government.
A groundbreaking journalist who has revealed some of America's darkest secrets.
The last great American reporter.
Hersh's exposés of gross abuses by members of the US military in Vietnam and Iraq have earned him worldwide fame and high journalistic honors.
Quite simply, the greatest investigative journalist of his era.
Hersh is necessary reading for anyone remotely interested in what went wrong and continues to go wrong in Iraq
I've long admired the skill and independence with which Hersh has brought important and concealed information to light
One of the most skilled investigative journalists in American history shares his saga in compelling detail ... Hersh takes readers behind the scenes as he exposes corrupt U.S. foreign policy, Defense Department bumbling in numerous wars, political coverups during Watergate, private sector corporate scandals, and torture tactics used by the U.S. government against alleged terrorists after 9/11. The author shares insightful (and sometimes searing) anecdotes about fellow journalists, presidents and their cronies, military generals, and numerous celebrities. Readers interested in a primer about investigative techniques will find Hersh a generous teacher. Candor is the driving force in this outstanding book. Rarely has a journalist's memoir come together so well, with admirable measures of self-deprecation, transparent pride, readable prose style, and honesty.
Powerful . . . There's gripping journalistic intrigue aplenty as [Hersh] susses out sources and documents, fences with officials, and fields death threats. . . . Hersh himself is brash and direct, but never cynical, and his memoir is as riveting as the great journalistic exposés he produced.
Candid and revelatory . . . Compared to the contemporary field of blogs, bots, and opinion-driven reportage, the last half of the twentieth-century can look like the heyday of honest and critical journalism. But even now, Hersh remains at the vanguard of tenacious and purposeful writers who speak truth to power, and surely he's inspiring the best at work now. Journalism junkies will devour this insider's account of a distinguished career.
Reporter is just wonderful. Truly a great life, and what shines out of the book, amid the low cunning and tireless legwork, is Hersh's warmth and humanity. Essential reading for every journalist and aspiring journalist the world over

Descriere scurtă

'Reporter is just wonderful. Truly a great life, and what shines out of the book, amid the low cunning and tireless legwork, is Hersh's warmth and humanity. Essential reading for every journalist and aspiring journalist the world over' John le Carré
In the early 1950s, teenage Seymour Hersh was finishing high school and university - while running the family's struggling dry cleaning store in a Southside Chicago ghetto. Today, he is one of America's premier investigative journalists, whose fearless reporting has earned him fame, front-page bylines in virtually every newspaper in the world, a staggering collection of awards, and no small amount of controversy.

Reporter is the story of how he did it. It is a story of slog, ingenuity and defiance, following Hersh from his first job as a crime reporter for the Chicago City News Bureau, through his Pulitzer Prize-winning freelance investigative exposes, to the heights of his reporting for The New York Times and the New Yorker. It is a tale of night-time encounters with great Civil Rights leaders, unauthorised meetings with Pentagon officials, raucous dinners with Canadian soldiers in Hanoi, tense phone calls with Secretaries of State, desperate to save face; of exposing myriad military and political wrongdoing, from My Lai to Watergate to Abu Ghraib, and the cynical cover-ups that followed in Washington and New York. Here too are unforgettable encounters with some of the most formidable figures from recent decades, from Saul Bellow to Martin Luther King Jr., from Henry Kissinger to Bashar al-Assad.
Ultimately, in unfurling Seymour Hersh's life and career, Reporter tells a story of twentieth-century America, in all its excitement and darkness.
