Newspaperman: Inside the News Business at the Wall Street Journal

Insightful journey through the Wall Street Journal.

If you've got a soft spot for journalism or just love a good success story, "Newspaperman" is your read. Phillips shares his climb to the pinnacle of the news industry with a candor and detail that's as informative as it is fascinating. It's a rare peek behind the curtain of a media giant, giving you a taste of the hustle, the ethics, and the evolution of modern news.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

An inside look at America’s largest newspaper—the Wall Street Journal. Phillips offers fascinating insights into American business, politics, and journalism. He moved in the circles of CEOs, U.S. presidents, prime ministers, and royalty, always at his core a reporter. Newspaperman tells the life story of an immigrant’s shy son from Queens who rose to the top of his industry, beginning as a copyboy for the New York Herald Tribune and ending as publisher of The Wall Street Journal and CEO of Dow Jones & Company. The book charts the Journal’s rise from a local newspaper to a global operation and provides a vivid portrait of how news is discovered, reported, edited, published, and disseminated. It blends anecdotes from around the world with reflections on integrity and high standards, and it offers insight into the strategies that shaped the Journal’s news and editorial coverage during the post–World War II era and the early years of digital publishing and the Internet. Phillips’s entertaining, insightful account is a must-read for devotees of America’s iconic business publication and anyone interested in how news is reported.
