When the News Went Live: Dallas 1963 : 9781589791398

With shots from a mail-order rifle, Lee Harvey Oswald set off a worldwide tragedy that developed too fast to print. Broadcast journalism came of age in that crisis and helped to hold a mourning nation together. Four reporters on the scene relate their experiences as staff of the local CBS affiliate working with Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite. When the News Went Live recalls their coverage of breaking news including the assassination, the first on-camera murder, and the trial of Jack Ruby.
