Reviews
"Kindred's book is the miracle, making this oldNew York Timesman wish he had spent at least one shining moment in the heartbreaking romance of theWashington Post." -Robert Lipsyte, formerNew York Timessports columnist and author ofAn Accidental Sportswriter "Dave Kindred combines a deep love of daily journalism with a sports writer's narrative skill to tell a powerful story of one newspaper struggling to keep its trademark standards and values intact into the Internet era. If the time comes for the final obit to be written for print-on-paper newspapers, Kindred proves that he's the guy who should write it." -Bill Kovach, formerNew York TimesWashington Bureau Chief, "[Kindred] brings passion, insight, empathy, and a critical eye-as well as great access to Post reporters and management, including Ben Bradlee, Bob Woodward, David Broder, and Dana Priest-to this completely engrossing look at the decline of a great newspaper.... Sad and delightful at the same time." -Booklist, starred review "A fine piece of writing and reporting." -The Atlantic "Maybe it's only a newspaper, but Morning Miracle is one of those wistful love stories filled with as much foreboding as tenderness." -Frank Deford , NPR commentator, "Morning Edition" "This is a book about reporting and reporters. The best reporter involved in it is the one writing it. Through his talent, his wit, and his uncommon humanity, Dave Kindred demonstrates a love for journalism as a job, as a craft, and, above all, as a calling. In fact, he loves it more than it probably deserves to be loved anymore." -Charles P. Pierce, author of Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of The Free "There's always some guy in the newsroom who knows the real story." -Roger Ebert "Kindred's book is the miracle, making this old New York Times man wish he had spent at least one shining moment in the heartbreaking romance of the Washington Post ." - Robert Lipsyte , former New York Times sports columnist and author of An Accidental Sportswriter "Dave Kindred combines a deep love of daily journalism with a sports writer's narrative skill to tell a powerful story of one newspaper struggling to keep its trademark standards and values intact into the Internet era.

Synopsis
An in-depth look at the Washington Post from a Pulitzer Prize-nominated Post veteran. Morning Miracle definitively answers the question "Do newspapers still matter?" with a resounding yes. What The Kingdom and the Power did for the New York Times , Morning Miracle will do for the Washington Post . A reporter for more than forty years, Dave Kindred takes you inside the heart of the legendary newspaper and offers a unique opportunity to see what it really takes to produce world-class journalism every day. Granted unprecedented access to every nook and cranny of the paper, including candid exchanges with its most celebrated journalists, such as Bob Woodward, Sally Quinn, David Broder, and former executive editor Ben Bradlee (who gave the book its title), Kindred provides a no-holds-barred look at the twenty-first-century newsroom. As it becomes more difficult to maintain journalistic integrity, stay relevant in the age of blogs, and meet Wall Street's demands for profits, the newspaper--more than any other medium--also shoulders the tremendous responsibility of acting as a watchdog for democracy. Perhaps no one sums up the overwhelming challenges that face the Post and its power to endure better than the author himself: "It is still a miracle that you can put 700 overcaffeinated misfits in a newsroom, on deadline, adrenaline running, secrets to spill, and before midnight a messenger delivers a smoking-hot city edition to Don Graham's manse in Georgetown.", Forty-year veteran reporter Kindred takes readers inside the heart of the legendary newspaper, and offers a unique opportunity to see what it really takes to produce world-class journalism every day.
