Abstract
The purpose of this article is to delineate the circumstances and contexts within which the denigration of Welsh journalist Gareth Jones occurred by offering a detailed chronology of the events surrounding the publication of his first Russian famine article on March 31, 1933, also the date of Walter Duranty's famine-denying article that denigrated Jones by name. The article also analyzes the sources that chronicle the reactions by Western news media, journalists who were involved, and official responses by political leaders. Lastly, the article unpacks the representations of stakeholders who historicize Jones and his coverage of the famine, illustrated in two complementary campaigns: to commemorate Jones as a Hero of the Ukraine and to strip Walter Duranty of his 1932 Pulitzer Prize.
