42: 245: 454:"published the series first as a report (The Shame of the Prisons, Pocket Books, 1972) and later as a book (Caged: Eight Prisoners and Their Keepers, Harper & Row, 1976)" -- Might suggest limiting mention here just to the books and linking to them in footnotes or further reading, for flow. 420:"Bagdikian began a freelance career after leaving the Providence Journal in 1961." -- Kind of disjoined; why did he step down from bureau chief to work as a freelancer? Likely so he could pursue other interests, which might be clear in the source material. 288:"Bagdikian graduated from Clark University, in Worcester, Massachusetts, as a pre-medical student. He was editor of The Clark News, the college newspaper." -- there are some good details on his family life, anything on what prompted these interests? 417:"Bagdikian began working for the Providence Journal in 1947 as a reporter and Washington bureau chief. He also served as a local reporter." -- This might need reordering. I assume he wasn't hired fresh out of the military as a bureau chief? 676:
One image tagged as fair use. The article could have some associated images added (Ben Bradlee's headshot or photos of the other papers added) but I don't see this as essential.
377:"Bagdikian died ... " -- this can probably go at the bottom of the article, even if it's not organized strictly in chronological order, would make more sense near the bottom. 350:"He served as a navigator (first lieutenant) in the United States Army Air Forces from May 1942 to January 1946, serving during World War II." -- drafted? Or volunteered? 80: 213:
Note: Copyvio detector returns yellow. But from what I can tell, this is because of the extensive use of quotes within the prose, and some limited similar phraseology.
70: 481:"He became the second ombudsman of the Post in 1972, ..." -- You can probably cut the second mention out as this was established in the beginning of the section. 47: 515:"In 1987 Bagdikian testified on the effects of profit on news reporting..." What did he say in this testimony? Merits a mention here of some detail. 126: 188: 182: 512:
as Bagdikian is noted as believing his relationship with his second wife is part of the reason he was "forced out" at the Washington Post.

Much appreciated for all of your work. All of my significant concerns have been addressed. Based on this,

The "In popular culture" section can be removed or merged into the legacy section, but it must be cited.

Please take a look at my changes in the "Personal life" section. Does this format make more sense? ----

Generally for refs of quotes, it's best to place them at the end of the quote itself instead of before.

Ok. So just let me know when you've finished this one, I believe it's my last outstanding comment. —
