In this book, Martin Tolchin describes his journey from New York
Times copy boy to White House correspondent, and as founder of The
Hill and co-founder of Politico. He tells of the talented and
eccentric colleagues he encountered en route, and the conflicts and
tensions that beset him during his 40-year news career. Along the
way, he tracks the evolution of political journalism from mostly
all-male, smoke-filled newsrooms to the high-tech world of the 24/7
news cycle. As a local reporter in New York City, Tolchin saw his
articles change public policy and re-direct millions of dollars in
public funds. Nationally, Tolchin reported on some of the country's
most important political leaders, including Ronald Reagan, Jimmy
Carter, and Tip O'Neill, among many others. As a Washington
correspondent he was involved in Iran Contra, the Anita Hill
hearings on the nomination of Justice Clarence Thomas, and
Washington's response to the New York City financial crisis. Mr.
Tolchin writes with extraordinary candor and optimism. His story is
one that will inform and inspire students, scholars, and general
readers in an era in which fake news has sometimes overtaken
legitimate reporting. He believes in the power of a free press to
guard and guide free people.
