Jerry Barmash has published Here Now the News: An Inside Scoop into New York’s Best-Loved Anchors, a behind-the-scenes peek at the local TV scene in the largest market in the 1970s.
In the introduction, Barmash, a veteran media reporter who contributes to B+C, writes that the book “became much more than simply a book about broadcasting. It’s about egos, power, sexism, and racism. The names you’ll see in the pages that follow are stars of local news in New York City. However, their story plays on a large scale, and not just because of the exposure many of them got at the network level.”
