Carr Van Anda, managing editor of the New York Times, believed in "hard" news, thoroughly and accurately presented. A tireless worker, he often stayed at the office all night. He was there at 1: 20 a. m. on April 15, 1912, when a distress signal came in from Newfoundland that the pride of Britain’s passenger fleet, the Titanic, was in trouble. The new ship, believed unsinkable, had hit an iceberg and was in some kind of danger. But was it really serious or just a narrow escape? Had the passengers needed to abandon ship? Van Anda could not tell from the short and confusing message.(30)Although he was generally considered a conservative and cautious man, Van Anda gambled on the unthinkable that the Titanic was sinking.
He threw his staff into action: the story was approached from all angles. Some reporters put together lists of famous persons on board; others turned out features about the ship and other important passenger liners; still others did stories on similar sea disasters. In other words, Van Anda and the New York Times went all the way with the story; they played it big. At other newspapers, editors were more cautious, inserting such words as "rumored" here and there. Van Anda’s three-column headline reflected the sureness that has marked the New York Times throughout its history.
Officials of the White Star Line, which owned the Titanic, had been releasing optimistic statements all during the day of April 15, and did not confirm Van Anda’s story until the evening of April 16. Van Anda’s final edition, which went to press about three hours after the New York Times had received the first brief wireless report, stated flatly that the Titanic had sunk.(31)This was perhaps a great risk on Van Anda’s part and his "deductive journalism" may have shocked many, but it remains as one of the great against-a-deadline news-coverage feats in all journalism.
