Morning Miracle is a lackluster, scattershot paean to a paper and its staff which completely ignores the paper's unscrupulous collusion with warmongering administrations and various intelligence agencies over the decades. Even if we accept the work's upbeat navel-gazing as an obligatory facet of the genre, the vignettes included in the book fail to deliver, in general.

Warts-and-all look at Ali and Cosell by someone who was there. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Hard to read some of the truths about this two but overall I found them more human after finishing.

This was a tough book to review: I loved parts of it while others dragged. As a series of anecdotes, I loved the history and stories about the Washington Post. Unfortunately, the book lacks a cohesive topic, and I was left wondering what was the point. Perhaps that's an unfair criticism, since ending to the story he tells is far from certain.

As a lifelong reader of the Washington Post, I felt deep nostalgia for the lost writers and sections I loved. I miss Sunday morning surrounded by coffee, the paper(s), and my wife. But progress is progress, and perhaps those days are gone.… (mais)

In an era when news organizations seem to spend way too much time trying to disprove each other, and far less time reporting facts without spin, Morning Miracle does a great job of taking the reader back to a golden age of not-so-long-ago when journalists cherished truth and honor in reporting.

I feel that Dave Kindred does a great job of displaying journalists and editors in a personal light of passion and drive. It is a honorable profession after all, and this reminder is very encouraging. The organization of the stories and accounts seem jumbled sometimes, but the author always finds a way to draw them back in to a common narrative. I was reminded of a classic Bill Cosby routine, "I told you that story to tell you this one."

I was so drawn in to the history and timeline of the Post that. like a sports fan that tries his best to avoid hearing the final score of a recorded game before he watches it, I avoided returning to Washingtonpost.com at all costs until the final chapter. Did it survive or didn't it? We'll find out!

Mr. Kindred offers up a great book that brings you into the newsroom to observe the daily actions of its cast of characters, while refusing to hide the results of even some terrible mistakes at the risk of his own alienation by his peers. That is true journalism.
