• Jerry_Flint abstract "Jerry Flint (June 20, 1931 – August 7, 2010) was a senior automotive editor for Forbes Magazine, continuing as a columnist his official retirement in 1996 until his death.Flint also wrote articles for a variety of media, including Ward's AutoWorld, with whom he continued until his death, from a stroke on August 7, 2010. He was sometimes known as "The Senator," and often as the dean of automotive journalism, one of the few in the media whom even senior-level industry leaders would seek out—which often meant listening to Flint tell them how little they knew, or much they had gotten wrong. That was never more apparent than when he addressed a group of General Motors managers, in early 2001. “GM executives,” he declared, “don’t seem to understand that the art of the auto business is building desirable vehicles, not killing models and closing plants.” Nearly a decade before the giant automaker, long the world’s largest, went bankrupt, Flint told them, “You are badly led, with an organization that doesn’t work.”Of Polish Jewish descent, Flint was born in a working-class neighborhood, in Detroit, on June 20, 1931, a time when the Great Depression had sunk so deep he and family would walk miles to the Fisher Theater, for a film, hoping to save a few nickels on streetcar fares. He was educated at what was then Detroit's city college but is now Wayne State University. He finally saw the world beyond as an Army intelligence officer, stationed in Herzogenaurach, Germany, starting in 1953.Upon his return, Flint entered journalism. By 1958 he was working first in Chicago and then Detroit for the Wall Street Journal. In 1967 he went to work for the New York Times in Detroit and became Detroit Bureau Chief. He moved to New York with the Times and remained there until 1979, when he moved to Forbes as Washington Bureau Chief. Flint returned to New York with Forbes and again covered the auto industry. Retiring from Forbes editorial staff in 1996, at the age of 65, he continued as a columnist (Backseat Driver) and contributor until his death on August 7, 2010.Flint won the Loeb Award for business and financial reporting, in 2003, The Journal of Financial Reporting named him one 100 most prominent business reporters of the 20th century. Among the honors he was most proud of, however, was being chosen as one of the 40 finalists for NASA's Journalist in Space program. The program was canceled following the explosion that destroyed the shuttle Challenger.Flint also served as President of the International Motor Press Association.".
