Behind the White House Curtain: A Senior Journalist’s Story of Covering the President―and Why It Matters by Steven L Herman
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1,6 mb
Overview: Going behind the scenes with a veteran member of the White House press corps
Now in paper and with new material, Steven L Herman weaves together memoir and history to pull back the curtain on the inner workings of the White House press corps, giving readers a rare glimpse into the historic and current relationship between the president and the press.
Herman traces the trajectory of his career as a journalist―from learning to be skeptical of government officials’ statements when he worked as a novice reporter covering nuclear testing in Nevada in the 1970s to understanding the power of on-the-ground social media coverage after the Fukushima disaster in 2011 and facing the challenges of covering the Trump administration for the nonpartisan, government-funded Voice of America (VOA).
Throughout Behind the White House Curtain, Herman convincingly argues that public access to accurate, unbiased information is essential to a healthy and peaceful democracy, and that journalists can and should play a key role in pressing government officials to be truthful and transparent. At a time when misinformation is rampant and the need for unbiased coverage of current events is more urgent than ever, Herman reminds readers that freedom of the press is a foundational American right.
