Courtesy of WikipediaWalter Lippmann (September 23, 1889 – December 14, 1974) was an American writer, reporter, and political commentator. Lippmann also played a notable role as research director of Woodrow Wilson’s post–World War I board of inquiry. His views on the role of journalism in a democracy were contrasted with the contemporaneous writings of John Dewey in what has been retrospectively named the Lippmann–Dewey Debate. Lippmann won two Pulitzer Prizes, one for his syndicated newspaper column “Today and Tomorrow” and one for his 1961 interview of Nikita Khrushchev. Click here to read more of the Wikipedia article.
