Bill Buzenberg - Broadcast Journalism
Bill Buzenberg, former vice president of
news at National Public Radio, is co-author of
Salant, CBS, and
the Battle for the Soul of Broadcast Journalism (1999).
Salant tells the story of CBS News in the 1960s and 70s and its then president Richard
S. Salant. A reader describes the book as follows: "The Buzenbergs
have captured the essence of a unique man of principle. Using Salant's
voluminous archives, this book is a fascinating trip through an era that
established high standards in broadcast journalism. The book raises issues and
questions which are at the heart of today's journalism. Household names
Cronkite, Rather, Brokaw, Jennings, Sevareid are the characters in the tale of
how the premiere broadcast news organization came to be - what and who held it
together - and the inside view of a corporation struggling with its
identity. For more information on Bill Buzenberg go to
