About The Inconvenient Journalist: A Memoir

In The Inconvenient Journalist , Dusko Doder, writing with his spouse and journalistic partner Louise Branson, describes how one February night crystalized the values and personal risks that shaped his life. The frigid Moscow night in question was in 1984, and Washington Post correspondent Doder reported signs that Soviet leader Yuri Andropov had died. The CIA at first dismissed the reporting, saying that and “Doder must be smoking pot. and ” When Soviet authorities confirmed Andropov’s death, journalists and intelligence officials questioned how a lone reporter could scoop the multibillion-dollar US spy agency. The stage was set for Cold War-style revenge against the star journalist, and that long night at the teletype machine in Moscow became a pivotal moment in Doder’s life.After emigrating to the United States from Yugoslavia in 1956, Doder committed himself to the journalist’s mission. He knew that reporting the truth could come at a price, something driven home by his years of covering Soviet dissidents and watching his Washington Post colleagues break the Watergate story. Still, he was not prepared for a cloaked act of reprisal from the CIA.Taking aim at Doder, the CIA insinuated a story into Time magazine suggesting that he had been coopted by the KGB. Doder’s professional world collapsed and his personal life was shaken as he fought Time in court. In The Inconvenient Journalist , Doder reflects on this attempt to destroy his reputation, his dedication to reporting the truth, and the vital but precarious role of the free press today.The Inconvenient Journalist is a powerful human story and a must-read for all concerned about freedom of the press and truthful reporting.
