Sinopse
Today when local newspapers are going out of business, corporate profits drive press coverage, and unbiased reporting is seen as almost nonexistent, Wallace Carroll's life is a lesson in excellence. A "journalist's journalist" with unmatched integrity, Carroll covered the most significant events of his time, from the London Blitz to the United States' withdrawal from the Vietnam War.
A foreign correspondent for United Press from 1929 to 1942, he covered the League of Nations, the Battle of Britain, the London Blitz and the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. Following the war, he left the national limelight to take the helm of a regional paper in the South where he covered the demise of the tobacco industry, de-segregation and the nascent environmental movement. Carroll's commitment o the power of words was legendary; his life essential listening for those who believe a trusted and reasoned press crucial to preserving democracy.
