Jack Newfield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jack Newfield, (1938-2004), was a muckraking journalist, employed by the New York Post. [1] [2]
While the New York Post changed ownership and changed from a liberal orientation to a conservative orientation, Newfield retained his liberal politics.
He was an activist, in addition to being a journalist. He was with New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy when the latter was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan in June, 1968. [3]
Aside from providing exposes (in his columns in the Post) of abuse of power by government officials and by businessmen, he wrote a number of books. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he passed away on December 20, 2004.
