Sobre el autor
Walter Lippmann (1889-1974) was a widely read American writer, reporter, and political pundit, whose six-decade tenure reshaped intellectual discourse. Renowned for his seminal contributions, he was instrumental in delineating the contours of the Cold War, pioneering the terminology of ‘stereotype’ and ‘manufactured consent, ‘ and offering incisive critiques of media and democracy. For his influential columns he was awarded two Pulitzer Prizes.
