After reading the book, I recommend The HBO documentary "Deadline Artists" which explores an era when newspapers were still king, with two stars and historians. Pete Hamill and Jimmy Breslin brought New York City to life through shoe-leather reporting and tabloid poetry.

I began my journalism career at Washington Post owned WPLG. YES - as in W Philip Leslie Graham - B: July 18, 1915 – D: August 3, 1963 PLGraham was the publisher and co-owner of The Washington Post and its company Post-Newsweek,
The Washington Post Company. During Graham's years with the Post Company, Graham helped The Washington Post grow from a struggling local paper to a national publication and the Post Company expand to own other newspapers as well as radio and television stations. He was married to Katharine Graham, a daughter of Eugene Meyer, the previous owner of The Washington Post. Phil Graham, who had bipolar disorder, died by suicide in 1963, then Katharine took over as de facto publisher, making her the first woman in charge of a major American newspaper.
Graham is credited and made the phrase popular.
