Century's witness : the extraordinary life of journalist Wallace Carroll
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"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," Carroll covered the most significant events of his time, from the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 to the U.S. withdrawal from the Vietnam War. His commitment to the power of words was legendary; his life is essential reading for those who believe a trusted and reasoned press is crucial to preserving our democracy."--Back cover.
