Auerbach subjects the New York Times to a meticulously researched analysis of its attitude over the years 1896 to 2016 towards Zionism and Israel. Print to Fit leads the reader through Israels story along an unfamiliar route. The New York Times is one of the worlds leading newspapers. It is regarded as a journal of record. For more than 120 years it has been shaping American opinion. Jerold S Auerbach argues convincingly that, as far as Zionism and Israel are concerned, the paper has consistently been far from objective in its editorial policy, has fallen short of its own high standards, and has consequently failed in its journalistic obligations to the public. Neville Teller, The Jerusalem Report -- Neville Teller * The Jerusalem Report * Jerold Auerbachs archly titled new study Print to Fit: The New York Times, Zionism and Israel, 18962016 is a well-researched and, for the most part, damning brief of the Timess news coverage and editorial attitudes toward Zionism and Israel for over a century. Print to Fit was written well before the Jew-dog cartoon scandal, but it does answer the question about it with which this review began: How could such an image make it to the pages of an edition of the New York Times? Deborah E. Lipstadt, the Jewish Review of Books * Jewish Review of Books * There is no denying the basic truth of Jerold Auerbachs book, which is that the Times has had a fundamental antagonism to Zionism and to Israel from its beginning until this day. His title says it all: instead of printing all the news that is fit to printas it says so proudly on its front page every daythe Times has often printed the news that fits its ideology. Jack Reimer, The Jewish Advocate
