Newsroom Confidential: Lessons (and Worries) from an Ink-Stained Life by Margaret Sullivan

“沙利文仍然是美国新闻业所需要的评论家,他是一位具有街头信誉的资深从业者,仍然与报道和写作的’不负责任的快乐’保持着联系,这种快乐继续吸引着有才华的年轻人进入这个领域。” 史蒂夫-科尔,《纽约时报》书评

沙利文在《水牛城新闻》开始了她的职业生涯,在那里她从夏季实习生升为总编辑。在《新闻室机密》一书中,她记录了自己在竞争激烈的新闻室中与性别歧视作斗争和挥舞肘部的岁月。2012年,沙利文被任命为《纽约时报》的公共编辑,是第一位担任这一重要职位的女性。她处于一个独特的位置,代表读者来衡量报纸员工的行为和报道,分析判断力的潜在失误、不道德的做法和棘手的新闻问题。沙利文讲述了她如何驾驭报纸的争议,从希拉里-克林顿的电子邮件到埃隆-马斯克对不公平的指责,再到新闻编辑室需要更大的多样性。2016年,在所有公共编辑中任职时间最长的沙利文离开了华盛顿邮报,在那里她在前排看到了唐纳德-特朗普在美国媒体和政治中的崛起。

沙利文以其著名的混合魅力、敏锐的观察力和细致入微的批评,带领我们走进美国最有影响力的新闻机构的幕后,探讨美国人如何失去对新闻的信任,以及如何才能重新获得信任。

“Sullivan remains the critic American journalism requires, a veteran practitioner with street cred, still in touch with the ‘unaccountable joy’ of reporting and writing that continues to draw talented young people to the field.” —Steve Coll, The New York Times Book Review

Sullivan began her career at the Buffalo News, where she rose from summer intern to editor in chief. In Newsroom Confidential she chronicles her years in the trenches battling sexism and throwing elbows in a highly competitive newsroom. In 2012, Sullivan was appointed the public editor of The New York Times, the first woman to hold that important role. She was in the unique position of acting on behalf of readers to weigh the actions and reporting of the paper’s staff, parsing potential lapses in judgment, unethical practices, and thorny journalistic issues. Sullivan recounts how she navigated the paper’s controversies, from Hillary Clinton’s emails to Elon Musk’s accusations of unfairness to the need for greater diversity in the newsroom. In 2016, having served the longest tenure of any public editor, Sullivan left for the Washington Post, where she had a front-row seat to the rise of Donald Trump in American media and politics.

With her celebrated mixture of charm, sharp-eyed observation, and nuanced criticism, Sullivan takes us behind the scenes of the nation’s most influential news outlets to explore how Americans lost trust in the news and what it will take to regain it.
