"Ya, don Julio, por favor, no pregunte ms, no averige, no insista, no quiera saber lo que no se puede decir". -Vicente Leero
Hay consenso entre periodistas, acadmicos y lectores en reconocer a Julio Scherer Garca como el mejor periodista mexicano de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Su fama se debi al desarrollo constante de su oficio, siempre con excelencia y sentido crtico. Entre su primera nota de marzo de 1948 y su ltimo texto magistral publicado de manera pstuma en 2015 transcurrieron casi 67 aos. Durante este largo periodo es justamente donde se ubica el legado de Julio Scherer Garca. Este volumen contiene una amplia seleccin de su obra periodstica, as como textos e intervenciones pblicas que muestran ngulos de la filosofa del autor y sus reflexiones sobre la funcin del periodismo, el abuso del poder, la corrupcin, la injusticia, la moral y la tica, sobre el ser humano y su responsabilidad ante s mismo y ante la sociedad. Las piezas aqu reunidas pertenecen a los gneros bsicos del periodismo y que l ms cultiv notas informativas, entrevistas, crnicas y reportajes sobre Mxico y el mundo publicados en La Extra, Exclsior y Proceso. En su conjunto, la obra de Julio Scherer Garca no slo ha resistido brillantemente el paso del tiempo, sino que constituye un modelo para el ejercicio del oficio, una aportacin al conocimiento del periodismo mexicano, una ventana a su evolucin profesional y humana, y un testimonio de alto valor histrico. Periodismo para la historia es, por todo ello, de forma complementaria, un curso completo para aquellos que aspiran a ejercer el noble oficio de informar con exactitud, destreza y belleza. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "The only noun to define Julio is reporter. He lives as a reporter, he works full time as a reporter, he makes and breaks friendships as a reporter... In Mexico, few report as Julio Scherer, with his heart open to curiosity."
There is consensus among journalists, academics, and readers alike to acknowledge Julio Scherer Garca as the best Mexican journalist of the second half of the twentieth century. His fame rested on the constant evolution of his craft, always with excellence and critical thinking. Between his first story in March, 1948, and his last master work, published posthumously in 2015, almost 67 years went by. It is during this long period that we find Julio Scherer Garca's legacy. This volume gathers an ample selection of his reporting work, as well as other writings and public interventions that show certain angles of the author's philosophy, his reflections about the function of journalists, abuse of power, corruption, injustice, morals and ethics, humanity, and his responsibility to himself and to society at large. This collection of pieces falls into the most basic genres of journalism, which he cultivated most: news articles, interviews, chronicles, and feature pieces about Mexico and the world, published in La Extra, Exclsior, and Proceso. Altogether, Julio Scherer Garca's work has not only withstood brilliantly the passing of time, but constitutes a model for the craft, a contribution to Mexican journalistic knowledge, a window to its professional and human evolution, and a testimony of high historical value. For all this, Journalism for the History Books is, complementary, an entire course for those who aspire to exercise the noble craft of informing accurately, masterfully, and beautifully.
