This is the first indepth look at the development of the television newscast, the most popular source of news for over fortyfive years.During the 1940s, most journalists ignored or dismissed television, leaving the challenge to a small group of people working above New York Citys 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 televisions strengths. This book documents that process, challenging common myths including the importance of a popular anchor, and televisions inability to communicate nonvisual 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.
