Walter Lippmann (1889-1974) was a widely read American writer, reporter, and political pundit, whose six-decade tenure reshaped intellectual discourse. Renowned for his seminal contributions, he was instrumental in delineating the contours of the Cold War, pioneering the terminology of "stereotype" and "manufactured consent," and offering incisive critiques of media and democracy. For his influential columns he was awarded two Pulitzer Prizes.
