Top Journalist’s Oral History<br />
ROHO’s Lisa Rubens, Ben Bagdikian, and <strong>University</strong> Librarian Thomas<br />
Leonard, shown here at a reception celebrating the publication <strong>of</strong><br />
Bagdikian’s oral history. Released in spring 2011, this oral history was<br />
produced by the Regional Oral History Office (ROHO), with Lisa Rubens<br />
conducting the interviews.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 188-page document, freely available at bancr<strong>of</strong>t.berkeley.edu/ROHO,<br />
covers the life and career <strong>of</strong> a man whom the New York Times termed “an<br />
exemplar to a generation <strong>of</strong> journalists.”<br />
Bagdikian is the winner <strong>of</strong> almost every top prize in American journalism,<br />
including the Pulitzer. He is the author <strong>of</strong> six books, and a former dean<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Graduate School <strong>of</strong> Journalism at UC <strong>Berkeley</strong>. Among the many<br />
fascinating vignettes in the oral history is a cloak-and-dagger account <strong>of</strong><br />
how he obtained the Pentagon Papers for the Washington Post, where he<br />
was an editor, from whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg.<br />
Since 1954 the Bancr<strong>of</strong>t Library’s Regional Oral History Office has been<br />
conducting, teaching, analyzing, and archiving oral and video history<br />
documents in such fields as politics and government, business and labor,<br />
the environment, technology, the arts and <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong> history.<br />
