Keeping tabs on authors in LINKcat: Tom Shales

 


New York Times, 1/16/2024 
Tom Shales, the Pulitzer Prize-winning television critic for The Washington Post whose scalpel-sharp dissections of shows he deemed dead on arrival earned him nicknames like the Terror of the Tube, as well as a reputation for the power to make or break shows, died on Saturday in Alexandria, Va. He was 79. 
James Andrew Miller, a longtime collaborator and friend, said he died in a hospice facility from complications of Covid. 
Despite toiling in a political town far removed from the coastal capitals of the entertainment industry, Mr. Shales wielded enormous influence during his three-decade career, starting in 1977, as The Post’s chief television critic.
