About this episode

Deborah Jaffe discusses her father Sam Jaffe's complex career as a journalist intertwined with intelligence work during the Cold War.

Deborah Jaffe discusses the extraordinary and troubling story of her father, journalist Sam Jaffe — a CBS and ABC correspondent whose career intersected with the FBI, CIA, Moscow, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Francis Gary Powers, Yuri Nosenko, the JFK era, Operation Mockingbird, and the blurred line between journalism and intelligence work. Drawing from family memories, released government files, lawsuits, and decades of unanswered questions, Deborah explores how her father’s reporting career became entangled in Cold War counterintelligence suspicions and how those suspicions affected her family.
