I talked about starting this book last month and finally finished it a few weeks ago. If you like the TV network nightly newscasts then you must Reality Show
by Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post and CNN.Kurtz gets inside information on the news biz because he spent time with the folks in the newsrooms of each network.
What makes it fascinating is the timing. We are seeing the changing of the guard in anchors and a whimsical viewing audience. How will the networks survive?
If you work in local TV, you will actually see similarities in how the big boys do it compared to your newsroom. Plus, it is fascinating to read the background of the anchors and how many were told they were no good on the way up.
