Walter Duranty

• November 24 -- Pulitzer Punts on Duranty's Prize, Satisfying Sulzberger
The Pulitzer Prize board decided not to revoke Stalinist Times reporter Walter Duranty's 1932 prize, leading relieved publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. to say: "We respect and commend the Pulitzer board for its decision on this complex and sensitive issue."

• November 13 -- Times Publisher Criticized By Own Hired Historian
A letter to the editor from a historian hired by the Times to assess Pulitzer Prize winner Walter Duranty's reporting takes issue with publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. But why'd the paper wait two weeks to print it?

• October 23 -- Retaining a Stalinist's Stained Pulitzer
Giving back Stalinist apologist and Times reporter Walter Duranty's 1932 Pulitzer Prize would in itself evoke Stalinist purging, says publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr., and the idea gives executive editor Bill Keller "the creeps."

• June 10 -- Revoking A Blood-Stained Pulitzer
Will notorious pro-Stalinist Times reporter Walter Duranty finally lose his Pulitzer Prize? The New York Sun reports a new push to revoke Duranty’s 1932 Pulitzer for his Russia coverage.

• March 10 -- Walter Duranty, the Times' Useful Idiot
Russian dictator Josef Stalin may have been poisoned, the Times' Serge Schmemann noted with satisfaction in the "Editorial Observer" section of Monday's edition. But he went on to admonish that Stalin "was not always the same demon in our eyes that he is today," pointing out the Times itself ran a report on Stalin's death that made no mention of the purges or the gulag. But the career of Walter Duranty, Times' man in Moscow during the 1930s, proves the paper's ignorance of Stalinist reality wasn't limited to one obituary.
