The Gatekeeper:
60 Years of Economics According to The New York Times
Robert Chernomas and Ian Hudson
The New York Times can make a legitimate claim to be the most
influential newspaper in the U.S. and possibly the world. Because
of its influence, the Times has become a central figure in the debate
over the direction of bias in the media, with some claiming that
it is left wing or liberal and others arguing that it is right wing or
conservative. But the liberal-conservation media debate is very
misleading. The Gatekeeper argues that the Times can more accurately
be characterized as supporting long run profitability for U.S.
business, which involves both liberal and conservative policies in
different contexts. Through a thorough examination of the Times?
star commentators and its coverage of the issues of macroeconomics,
regulation, foreign policy, and the 2008?2009 economic crisis,
The Gatekeeper refocuses the debate about the bias of the most
venerable institution in U.S. journalism.
