Sobre este artículo
NY: The Viking Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1936. 1st Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. Publisher's full black cloth, silver lettering on spine and cover, t.e.g. (blue), fore-edge deckle. Ernest K. Lindley (1899-1979) was a noted Washington correspondent for many years and then an official of the State Department. Mr. Lindley was in the vanguard of the wave of journalists attracted to Washington to cover the New Deal of President Franklin D. Rossevelt. He covered Roosevelt when he was governor of New York for the old New York Herald Tribune and the newspaper sent him to Washington when Roosevelt was elected President. He established a reputation among his colleagues and members of Congress and the administration as the leading authority in the press corps on Roosevelt and his policies. He was the author of several books on the subject. In 1937, Mr. Lindley left The Herald Tribune to become the Washington bureau chief of Newsweek magazine, which was organized that year. A year later, he joined The Washington Post as a reporter and columnist. Mr. Lindley remained on The Post until 1943 and on Newsweek until 1961. He then became a special assistant to Secretary of State Dean Rusk and a member of the State Department's Policy Planning Council. He remained at State until 1969, when he received the department's Superior Service Award. During World War Ii, Mr. Lindley organized a group of veteran reporters that met frequently with Gen. George C. Marshall, the Army chief of staff, and Administrator Ernest J. King, the chief of naval operations, and other high officials for briefings on sensitive military and diplomatic matters. The famous "Lindley rule," which still is invoked at times by officials in their dealings with the press, was established by Lindley during his interviews with military leaders during World War II. Under the rule, information gleaned from officials may be published, but without attribution to any source. Reporters often use such vague attributions as "government officials" or "unimpeachable sources" to lend authenticity to their stories. Under the Lindley rule," even these advices are prohibited. The reporter must state the information on his own authority. . Former owner's bookplate on ffep, small closed tear at head of spine, covers very lightly soiled, corners lightly worn, otherwise unmarked, tight, square, and clean. . 8vo 8" - 9" tall. x, 426 pp .
