Введение
Американский репортер и редактор газеты Джон Джозеф Лири-младший (2 февраля 1874 года – 4 января 1944 года) – американский журналист и редактор газеты, лауреат Пулитцеровской премии. Он работал в ряде новостных организаций, включая Lynn Press, The Denver Times, New York Herald, New York World, New York Tribune, The Boston Journal, The Boston Post и The Boston Record. Работа Лири, удостоенная премии, написанная во время работы в New York World, до сих пор цитируется в книгах, более чем через 70 лет после его смерти, и один из авторов описывает его как «первого звездного репортера, освещавшего вопросы труда, в Соединенных Штатах». Он был награжден премией за серию статей, написанных во время общенациональной угольной забастовки зимой 1919 года. В своей книге «Больше не новость: как основные СМИ оставили рабочий класс» Кристофер Р. Мартин описал Лири как «первого звездного репортера, освещавшего вопросы труда, в США». Лири начал освещать трудовые споры, забастовки и насилие между Объединенными горняками Америки и владельцами шахт, начиная с 1918 года. Его репортажи, удостоенные Пулитцеровской премии, стали первыми, получившими эту награду за освещение вопросов труда. Его статья «Угольная забастовка в Западной Вирджинии» (9 декабря 1919 года, New York Herald) была опубликована в различных профсоюзных изданиях по всей стране, в которых отмечалось, что он пообещал продолжать освещать насилие и попытки помешать созданию профсоюза в округе Логан, Западная Вирджиния. В декабре 1919 года в газете Buffalo Labor Journal был опубликован заголовок:
John Joseph Leary Jr. (February 2, 1874 – January 4, 1944) was an American Pulitzer Prize winning reporter and newspaper editor. He worked for a number of news organizations including Lynn Press, The Denver Times, the New York Herald, New York World, New York Tribune, The Boston Journal, The Boston Post, and The Boston Record. Leary's prize winning work, written while working with the New York World, is still cited in books, more than 70 years after his death, with one author describing him as "the first star labor reporter in the United States. He was awarded the prize for his series of articles written during the national coal strike during the winter of 1919. In his book, No Longer Newsworthy: How the Mainstream Media Abandoned the Working Class, Christopher R. Martin described Leary as "the first star labor reporter in the United States." Leary had begun covering the labor disputes, strikes and violence, between the United Mineworkers of America and the mine operators, beginning in 1918. His Pulitzer prize winning stories were the first to be awarded the prize for labor reporting. His story, "Coal Strike in West Virginia," (December 9, 1919, New York Herald) was reported on by various union labor journals all over the country, noting that he promised to continue reporting on the violence and efforts to stop unionization in Logan County, West Virginia. The Buffalo Labor Journal ran one story headline, in December 1919, that read:

The journal article reported on "conditions that bordered on feudalism," to prevent future unionization in the Guyan River coal fields, in Guyan Valley, Huntington, West Virginia. Leary continued reporting on the labor issues in West Virginia, writing, in 1922, about the inaction of then, Secretary of State, Herbert Hoover, and congress. In his article, "Coal The Roosevelt Way Out," he wrote "'There is, " Secretary Hoover declared when the subject was put up to him, "no machinery for the purpose. We can only wait on developments."' He added that although President Harding had given much attention to the issue, "the attitude of official Washington reflects the attitude of the man in the street he knows that the situation is bad. But there have been situations as bad before and we have, some way or other, muddled through.'"

В статье журнала сообщалось об «условиях, близких к феодализму», чтобы предотвратить дальнейшее создание профсоюзов на угольных полях реки Гайан в долине Гайан, Хантингтон, Западная Вирджиния. Лири продолжал освещать проблемы труда в Западной Вирджинии, написав в 1922 году о бездействии тогдашнего госсекретаря Герберта Гувера и Конгресса. В своей статье «Уголь – путь Рузвельта» он написал: «"Нет, – заявил секретарь Гувер, когда ему был задан этот вопрос, – никакого механизма для этого нет. Мы можем только ждать развития событий"». Он добавил, что, хотя президент Гардинг уделял этому вопросу много внимания, «позиция официального Вашингтона отражает позицию обычного человека на улице – он знает, что ситуация плохая. Но подобные ситуации случались и раньше, и мы, так или иначе, справлялись с ними»".

О Теодоре Рузвельте
Сборник бесед Лири с Теодором Рузвельтом, 26-м президентом Соединенных Штатов, был опубликован в книге под названием "Беседы с Т. Р.", впервые изданной в 1920 году. Рузвельт умер в январе 1919 года, и Лири был одним из очень немногих, кому удалось провести с ним обстоятельные беседы.
Поздние годы карьеры
Лири работал в газете "Нью-Йорк Уорлд" до прекращения её работы в 1931 году.
Личные и смерть
Лири родился в семье Джона Дж. Лири и Мэри Энн (Кронон). Он женился на Алисе Рут Дуайер (1876–1942) в 1896 году, и она умерла за два года до его кончины, в 1942 году. Лири был похоронен вместе с другими членами семьи на кладбище Святой Марии в Линне, штат Массачусетс.
