NYT to Pulitzer board: Duranty’s work was “pretty dreadful”

Washington Post
New York Times executive editor Bill Keller says the paper has no objection if the Pulitzer Prize board wants to revoke the award granted to Walter Duranty 71 years ago. Keller says the Times’ view is that Duranty’s reporting on Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Union was “pretty dreadful…It was a parroting of propaganda.”
