Description
In Bad News at Black Rock, former CBS senior producer Peter McCabe tell the first-person, inside account of how one of the most distinguished broadcast news organizations in history was nearly destroyed by a combination of personal vanity and institutional short-sightedness.
Bad News at Black Rock is a story of individual ambition, corporate blundering, and Machiavellian intrigue. It is also the story of what is wrong with television news, with its questionable values, addiction to celebrity, and obsession with ratings.
