Bad City by Paul Pringle Book Review

“Bad City ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. On a cool, overcast afternoon in April 2016, a salacious tip arrived at the L.A. Times that reporter Paul Pringle thought should have taken, at most, a few weeks to check out: a drug overdose at a fancy hotel involving one of the University of Southern California’s shiniest stars―Dr. Carmen Puliafito, the head of the prestigious medical school. Pringle, who’d long done battle with USC and its almost impenetrable culture of silence, knew reporting the story wouldn’t be a walk in the park. USC is one of the biggest employers in L.A., and it casts a long shadow. But what he couldn’t have foreseen was that this tip would lead to the unveiling of not one major scandal at USC but two, wrapped in a web of crimes and cover-ups. The rot rooted out by Pringle and his colleagues at The Times would creep closer to home than they could have imagined―spilling into their own newsroom. Packed with details never before disclosed, Pringle goes behind the scenes to reveal how he and his fellow reporters triumphed over the city’s debased institutions, in a narrative that reads like L.A. noir. This is L.A. at its darkest and investigative journalism at its brightest.

Brief Summary Bad City by Paul Pringle

If you’re unaware that we live in a plutocracy, this book is a wake up call. If you’re interested how large organizations protect the rich, powerful and themselves, this almost cover up playbook that anyone can understand. Pringle uses no fancy language or contorted prose. I never had to reread a sentence to understand its meaning. Pringle also shows how the LA Times, under the ownership of Tribune lost its way. He explains how Ross Levinsohn hired Lewis D’Vorkin to try and save the newspaper with a “strategy naked in its aim to slash the staff and replace much of our reporting with lowbrow clickbait produced by underpaid freelancers, which was what D’Vorkin had done at Forbes.”
