A review by emilybriano
Reporter: A Memoir by Seymour M. Hersh

4.0

I wasn't very familiar with Mr. Hersh's work before this book arrived in my school's JLG shipment. While its appeal to (at least my) school's teen readers is uncertain, this book is a revealing look into the life and work of a sadly declining breed--the investigative reporter. His work on the Mỹ Lai massacre, as well as countless other political investigations and scandals is unprecedented and largely unknown among younger people. So if you're wanting to understand the role of the media as a check and balance to American power, look no further.
