Radio's revolution: Don Hollenbeck's CBS views the Press

摘要

In the rich history of CBS News, the name Don Hollenbeck is not likely to be found at the top of the list of iconic reporters; Loren Ghiglione's recent biography, CBS's Don Hollenbeck: An Honest Reporter in the Age of McCarthyism, may shuffle the order.rnIn George Clooney's 2005 film Good Night, and Good Luck, Hollenbeck appears to a generation that never heard him on the air as a tragic figure, his death caused by a relentless anti-Communist crusade by conservative columnist Jack O'Brian. Ghiglione's detailed account-more than 3 decades in the making and including more than 120 interviews of Hollenbeck's family, friends and colleagues-presents a more complex individual whose personal demons tempered his professional brilliance.
