About this listen
When you learned in school about the fabled drama of Robert E. Peary and Frederick Cook - how they raced each other to reach the North Pole first - did your teachers explain that this was an early example where public figures lied to gain glory? Plus, both The New York Times and New York Herald enabled them, by spreading the explorers' fake news - although critics still debate whether the publishers knew the stories were fake or didn't bother to corroborate the explorers' stories. Journalist Darrell Hartman tells us life and death tales from his fascinating book, Battle of Ink and Ice, that shed light on the perils of vanity and competition for fame and profit.
