About the Book

"Citizen Newhouse" brings to light one of the most powerful post-war figures in America -- one who has remained surprisingly secretive -- and his family's media dynasty. Carol Felsenthal, an acclaimed biographer, riveting writer, and savvy researcher, reveals that the Newhouse family's use of power is far from benign.

Focusing on his life and career, Felsenthal probes the character of S.I. Newhouse (known as "Si") and his family. For instance, she lays bare the role played by thuggish Roy Cohn in the affairs of Newhouse and his father. Cohn was Si's best friend and one-time aide to Senator Joe McCarthy. Felsenthal describes the murky circumstances surrounding the Justice Department's abandonment of an antitrust investigation that could have landed Si in jail, suggesting an unsavory relationship between media giants and the power brokers who both serve and use them.

Felsenthal also describes how Si's quirky behavior as a shy and awkward outsider has had far-reaching impact on the properties he owns, affecting -- and compromising -- the quality of the Newhouse "product" across the country and world. She discusses Si's flippant attitude toward finances, which she says contributes to, among other things, a loss at "The New Yorker" of an estimated $1 million a month.

This book, the result of four years of extensive research and over 400 interviews with Newhouse's friends, critics, relatives, and other players in the national media, is a compelling examination of the far-reaching impact that Si Newhouse has on media outlets like "The New Yorker" -- and on the information they disseminate to the public.
