This is the first in-depth look at the development of the
television newscast, the most popular source of news for over
forty-five years. During the 1940s, most journalists ignored or
dismissed television, leaving the challenge to a small group of
people working above New York City's Grand Central Terminal.
Without the pressures of ratings, sponsors, company oversight, or
many viewers, the group refused to recreate newspapers, radio, or
newsreels on the new medium. They experimented, argued, tested, and
eventually settled on a format to exploit television's strengths.
This book documents that process, challenging common myths -
including the importance of a popular anchor, and television's
inability to communicate non-visual stories - and crediting those
whose work was critical in the formation of television as a news
format, and illustrating the pressures and professional roadblocks
facing those who dare question journalistic traditions of any era.
