Beskrivning
After Adolph Ochs purchased The New York Times in 1896, Zionism and the eventual reality of the State of Israel were framed within his guiding principle, embraced by his Sulzberger family successor, that Judaism is a religion and not a national identity. Apprehensive lest the loyalty of American Jews to the United States be undermined by the existence of a Jewish state, they embraced an anti-Zionist critique that remained embedded in its editorials, on the Opinion page and in its news coverage. Through the examination of evidence drawn from its own pages, this book analyzes how all the news “fit to print” became news that fit the Times’ discomfort with the idea, and since 1948 the reality, of a thriving democratic Jewish state in the historic homeland of the Jewish people.

“Auerbach subjects the New York Times to a meticulouslyresearched analysis of its attitude over the years 1896 to 2016 towards Zionismand Israel. … Print to Fit leads the reader through Israel’s story alongan unfamiliar route. The New York Times is one of the world’s leadingnewspapers. It is regarded as a ‘journal of record.’ For more than 120 years ithas been shaping American opinion. Jerold S Auerbach argues convincingly that,as far as Zionism and Israel are concerned, the paper has consistently been farfrom objective in its editorial policy, has fallen short of its own highstandards, and has consequently failed in its journalistic obligations to thepublic.” —Neville Teller, The Jerusalem Report
