Іn case you missed it (ICYMI), here is a noteworthy excerpt of the obituary headlined “Mark von Hagen, Critic of Times’s Stalin Coverage, Dies at 65” (The New York Times, September 19, 2019). The author of the obituary, Sam Roberts, writes:
The New York Times had long distanced itself from Walter Duranty’s reporting from the Soviet Union in 1931 when it received a letter in 2003 from the Pulitzer Prize board asking whether the prize awarded to Mr. Duranty for that coverage should be rescinded.
