"Jerold Auerbach's archly titled new study Print to Fit:The New York Times, Zionism and Israel, 1896-2016 is a well-researched and,for the most part, damning brief of the Times's news coverage and editorialattitudes toward Zionism and Israel for over a century. ... Print to Fit was written well before the Jew-dog cartoon scandal, but it does answer thequestion about it with which this review began: How could such an image make itto the pages of an edition of the New York Times ?" --Deborah E. Lipstadt,the Jewish Review of Books, "There is no denying the basic truth of Jerold Auerbach's book, which is that the Times has had a fundamental antagonism to Zionism and to Israel from its beginning until this day. His title says it all: instead of printing all the news that is fit to print--as it says so proudly on its front page every day--the Times has often printed the news that fits its ideology." --Jack Reimer, The Jewish Advocate, "Auerbach subjects the New York Times to a meticulouslyresearched analysis of its attitude over the years 1896 to 2016 towards Zionismand Israel. ... Print to Fit leads the reader through Israel's story alongan unfamiliar route. The New York Times is one of the world's leadingnewspapers. It is regarded as a 'journal of record.' For more than 120 years ithas been shaping American opinion. Jerold S Auerbach argues convincingly that,as far as Zionism and Israel are concerned, the paper has consistently been farfrom objective in its editorial policy, has fallen short of its own highstandards, and has consequently failed in its journalistic obligations to thepublic." --Neville Teller, The Jerusalem Report
