This article examines the tensions brought to the relationship between two of the major figures of post‐war A merican journalism, C yrus L . S ulzberger and H arrison E . S alisbury, during the late 1970s by the accusation that S ulzberger had been a long‐standing ‘asset’ of the CIA . The relentless efforts of Salisbury to pursue the story during the research for his 1980 book Without Fear or Favor , which dealt with the recent history of the N ew Y ork T imes , brought his previous friendship with S ulzberger to a breaking point, but also produced the revelation that Salisbury himself had once been regarded by the CIA as a willing and cooperative source of information on the communist bloc. This personal story serves to bring out the wider themes of the ambiguous relationship between journalism and intelligence and the connections between the CIA and the media that began to be exposed during the 1970s
