Summary:
"From its almost accidental birth in 1968,
60
Minutes
has set the standard for
broadcast
journalism, joining us in our living rooms each Sunday night to surprise us about the world. The show has profiled every major leader, artist, and movement of the past five decades, perfecting the newsmaking interview and inventing the groundbreaking TV exposé. From legendary sit-downs with Richard Nixon in 1968 (in which he promised "to restore respect to the presidency") and Bill Clinton in 1992 (after the first revelations of infidelity) to landmark investigations into the tobacco industry, Lance Armstrong's doping, and the torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib, the
broadcast
has not just reported on our world, but changed it too. Executive Producer Jeff Fager pulls back the curtain on how this journalism is done, taking the reader into the editing room with the show's producers and correspondents, including Mike Wallace, writer Morley Safer, Ed Bradley, Lesley Stahl, Scott Pelley, interviewer Charlie Rose, Anderson Cooper, and storyteller Steve Kroft. He details the decades of human drama that have made the show's success possible: the ferocious (and encouraged) competition between correspondents, the door slamming, the risk-taking, and the pranks. Fager takes on the program'
s
mistakes and describes what it learned from them. He reveals the essential tenets that have never changed: why founder Don Hewitt believed "hearing" a
story
is more important than seeing it, why the "small picture" is the best way to illuminate a larger one, and why the
most
memorable stories are almost always those with a human being at the center. A sweeping portrait of
fifty
years
of American cultural history and an intimate look at how the
news
gets made"--Provided by publisher.
