In 1964, at age 22, Len Downie joined the Washington Post as an
intern. He became a pioneering investigative reporter, news editor,
foreign correspondent, and managing editor, before succeeding the
legendary Ben Bradlee as executive editor. As Downie writes, he was
quite different from Bradlee. But he played an equally important
role over more than four decades in making The Post one of the
world's leading news organizations. Among the stories he was
involved with were the historic Watergate story, the investigation
and impeachment of President Bill Clinton, the Unabomber (who
threatened to kill more people if The Post did not publish his
'manifesto'); the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and many national
security stories published in defiance of government wishes. He
managed The Post's ascendency to the pinnacle of influence,
circulation and profitability, before being confronted by the
digital transformation of the news media that threatened to put the
Post out of business. In a dangerous age of fake news and media
manipulation, Downie's judgment, fairness, and commitment to truth
will inspire anyone who wants to know how journalism at its best,
works.
