Peter Braestrup (1929〔Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum, (Oral Histories -- Peter Braestrup )〕 – 10 August 1997) was a correspondent for ''The New York Times'' and ''The Washington Post'', founding editor of the ''Wilson Quarterly'', and later senior editor and director of communications for the Library of Congress.〔David M. Herszenhorn, ''The New York Times'', 11 August 1997, (Peter Braestrup, 68, War Reporter And Library of Congress Editor )〕 Retiring from journalism in 1973, he founded the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars' ''Wilson Quarterly'', and in 1989 moved to the Library of Congress. Braestrup's 1977 Freedom House-sponsored book,〔''The Big Story: How the American Press and Television Reported and Interpreted the Crisis of Tet 1968 in Vietnam and Washington'', Boulder, Colorado: Westview Press, 1977〕 the two-volume ''Big Story'', criticised US media coverage of the Vietnam War's 1968 Tet Offensive.〔 The book, which argued that the media coverage of the offensive was excessively negative and helped lose the war, "is regularly cited by historians, without qualification, as the standard work on media reporting of the Tet offensive".〔Chomsky and Herman (1994:211)〕 Notably, his conclusions are heavily criticised by Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman who state "they (reports ) were generally less alarmist (government reports ).....The manner in which the media covered events had little effect on public opinion, except perhaps to enhance its aggressiveness" in their book ''Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media''.〔Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman (1994 ()), ''Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media'', Vintage 1994 edition, pp227〕 ==Background== Braestrup was born in Manhattan, the son of Carl Bjorn Braestrup, a physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project.〔 He graduated from Yale University in 1951, and served six months in the Korean War, being discharged in 1953 after being seriously wounded in action.〔
