Letter from Hugo Münsterberg to Theodore Roosevelt

Hugo Münsterberg thanks Theodore Roosevelt for kind praise of his recent article in McClure’s. Münsterberg agrees with Roosevelt’s opinion of the various magazines and weekly newspapers regarding “the mendacity of the final product” they create. He feels, however, that “the foreign reporter beats the whole gang” and is especially biased in the way they present American affairs, giving several examples of reporters in Germany who act this way. Münsterberg is working to help shape the Amerika-Institut he is working at to create a resource for improving relations between the United States and Germany.
