Jerold S. Auerbach is author of eleven books, including a New York Times Noteworthy Book (1976), and articles in Harper’s, The Wall Street Journal, Commentary, and The New York Times. A Guggenheim Fellow and Fulbright Lecturer at Tel Aviv University, he is Professor Emeritus of History at Wellesley College.
“Auerbach subjects the New York Times to a meticulously researched
analysis of its attitude over the years 1896 to 2016 towards
Zionism and Israel. … Print to Fit leads the reader through
Israel’s story along an unfamiliar route. The New York Times is one
of the world’s leading newspapers. It is regarded as a ‘journal of
record.’ For more than 120 years it has been shaping American
opinion. Jerold S Auerbach argues convincingly that, as far as
Zionism and Israel are concerned, the paper has consistently been
far from objective in its editorial policy, has fallen short of its
own high standards, and has consequently failed in its journalistic
obligations to the public.” —Neville Teller, The Jerusalem
Report
*The Jerusalem Report*
“Jerold Auerbach’s archly titled new study Print to Fit: The New
York Times, Zionism and Israel, 1896–2016 is a well-researched and,
for the most part, damning brief of the Times’s news coverage and
editorial attitudes toward Zionism and Israel for over a century. …
Print to Fit was written well before the Jew-dog cartoon scandal,
but it does answer the question about it with which this review
began: How could such an image make it to the pages of an edition
of the New York Times?” —Deborah E. Lipstadt, the Jewish Review of
Books
*Jewish Review of Books*
“There is no denying the basic truth of Jerold Auerbach’s book,
which is that the Times has had a fundamental antagonism to Zionism
and to Israel from its beginning until this day. His title says it
all: instead of printing all the news that is fit to print—as it
says so proudly on its front page every day—the Times has often
printed the news that fits its ideology.” —Jack Reimer, The Jewish
Advocate
