From its storied birth in the fiercely competitive press wars of nineteenth-century New York to its tragic demise in 1966, the New York Herald Tribune stands as one of the most brilliant and consequential newspapers in American history — and The Paper by Richard Kluger is its definitive chronicle. Kluger meticulously reconstructs the paper's full arc, introducing readers to the titans of journalism who shaped it, from the visionary Horace Greeley and James Gordon Bennett to the legendary editors and writers who made the Trib a cultural and intellectual powerhouse that rivalled, and often surpassed, the New York Times in creative ambition and literary distinction. Written with the assurance of a master historian and the narrative drive of a seasoned storyteller, this Pulitzer Prize-winning work is as much a biography of an institution as it is a sweeping portrait of American journalism itself. Kluger presents the human dramas — the rivalries, the financial crises, the editorial triumphs — that animated every decade of the paper's existence, illuminating how a single publication can shape a nation's conversation. With the assistance of Phyllis Kluger, this landmark work leaves the reader wondering: what else have we lost when a great newspaper dies?
