David E. McCraw
This program includes an introduction read by the author.
David E. McCraw recounts his experiences as the top newsroom lawyer for The New York Times during the most turbulent era for journalism in generations.
In October 2016, when Donald Trump's lawyer demanded that The New York Times retract an article focused on two women who accused Trump of touching them inappropriately, David McCraw's scathing letter of refusal went viral, and he became a hero of press freedom everywhere. But as you'll see in Truth in Our Times, for the top newsroom lawyer at the paper of record, it was just another day at the office.
McCraw has worked at the Times since 2002, leading the paper's fight for freedom of information, defending it against libel suits, and providing legal counsel to the reporters breaking the biggest stories of the year. In short: If you've read a controversial story in the paper since the Bush administration, it went across his desk first. From Chelsea Manning's leaks to Trump's tax returns, McCraw is at the center of the paper's decisions about what news is fit to print.
In Truth in Our Times, McCraw recounts the hard legal decisions behind the most impactful stories of the last decade with candor and style. The audiobook is simultaneously a rare peek behind the curtain of the celebrated organization, a love letter to freedom of the press, and a decisive rebuttal of Trump's fake-news slur through a series of hard cases. It is an absolute must-have for any dedicated fan of The New York Times.
“[Truth in Our Times] is spirited and hopeful and even, at times, lighthearted. It is, in a way, a love letter to the First Amendment." (The New York Times Book Review)

A beautiful love story

I'm so impressed I've given copies to friends. That's not something I normally do.
A non-attorney can easily digest the material. That's a plus. And for those of us who have been in the field, there are parts of legal snark (documents that assume everyone reading them has just arrived from Mars) that set me to laughing. If you've never read a legal document that starts from prior to the creation of the universe in order to make sure everyone is on the same page (informationally) you might not appreciate what the legal writer goes through.
If you are interested in freedom, this is an important book to read. Give a copy to a friend.
A book to share

The book is well written and researched. McCraw provides a clear understanding of the first amendment and legal issues regarding journalism. The writing is concise and easy to understand for a lay person. The author also provides some humor in the book. I had no idea running a newspaper was so complicated legally. This is an important read.
The book is ten hours and two minutes. Stephen Graybill does a good job narrating the book. Graybill is an award-winning voice-over actor and audiobook narrator. He has won the Gold Clio Award, the Silver Effie Award and the Reader’s Choice Award of “Narrator of the Year”. This is my first experience listening to Graybill.
