	Encyclopedia: George Seldes
		Born in 1890, George Seldes was a young reporter in Europe at the close of World War I. When Armistice Day came, he broke ranks with the obedient press corps and drove behind the lines of retreating German troops.
		Seldes came to believe that the interview, if published, "would have destroyed the main planks of the platform on which Hitler rose to power." But the reporters involved "did not think it worthwhile to give up our number-one positions in journalism" by disobeying military censors "in order to be free to publish."
		George Seldes and his wife, Helen, covered the war between Franco's fascists and the coalition of loyalists supporting the elected Spanish government.

	The Consortium
		Seldes was not-so-politely "asked to leave" after he and three other reporters were discovered smuggling stories out of the country in the diplomatic mailbag.
		Seldes goes on to document the many ways the press indeed failed to "meet its responsibilities" and the reasons for the failure: the economic interests of the publishers, their political leanings (especially during the politically-polarized New Deal era), their own labor relations issues, etc.
		Seldes was decades ahead of his colleagues in documenting the health hazards of cigarettes (as early as 1938), the deceptive promotional practices of the tobacco companies, and the lack of coverage of these issues in the pages of the mainstream press -- which accepted millions every year in cigarette advertising.

		Seldes retired in 1950 but was rediscovered in the 1980's after he appeared as one of the voices from the past vignettes in the film "Reds." His autobiography "Witness to a Century" was published in 1987 and became a bestseller.
		Seldes family hopes that persons who wish to commemorate George's legacy support these groups, and a specific fund in his name will be established this fall by those he influenced.
		George combined a crusty intellect with a soft heart, and until recently would entertain visitors to his Vermont hillside home with stories of his exploits punctuated by sips from his trademark martini.

	Tell the Truth and Run: George Seldes and the American Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		As he wrote in the title of his recent book, George Seldes (1890-1995) was truly an "eyewitness to a century." This gadfly journalist took on dictators like Hitler, Franco, Mussolini, Lenin; the "lords of the press" who traded journalistic integrity for advertising space; cigarette companies and McCarthy and his fellow anti-communists.
		Seldes fought his battles with words, and he never lost his essential optimism that Americans would do what was right once the truth was revealed.
		Seldes recalls his journalistic beginnings in Pittsburgh, a sojourn in revolutionary Russia, his run-ins with Mussolini, adventures in covering the Spanish Civil War, and his role as an increasingly lonely critic of the press.

	AlterNet: SOLOMON: Ignored Oscar Film Sets Inspiring Example
		George Seldes would have chuckled at the media silence that greeted the Oscar nomination for a movie about him.
		Most reporters, Seldes observed, "know from contact with the great minds of the press lords or from the simple deduction that the bosses are in big business and the news must be slanted accordingly, or from the general intangible atmosphere which prevails everywhere, what they can do and what they must never do."
		The death of George Seldes -- on July 2, 1995, at the age of 104 -- underscored the major media's lack of interest in legacies of journalistic courage.
