Review # 1 was written on 2008-09-01 00:00:00 Rebecca Lopez Great book by a local author. Ken Keller was a master of his craft in the hayday of radio in Colubmus, Ohio. It is a great book preserving the history of that by gone era. Ken donates a the proceeds of the book to his local Kiwanis Club, another cause near and dear to me. Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers chnaging the world one community and one child at a time....

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-19 00:00:00 Carl Zurline Few careers of women television journalists will be written about in memoirs. Stahl's story of her own path to the emerging field of TV journalism at a time when there were few men is an important first-hand account for feminists, media studies and journalism history readers. Like a good journalist does, Stahl writes with a straight-forward style, includes all the facts to present her point and doesn't sugar coat the obstacles or cringe-worthy moments. Her voice rings true, however, to a woman who faced fears and exceeded the expectations of others to cover major moments in American and world history. I relied on this book when producing an episode on the Women Who Reported Watergate, for my podcast Advanced TV Herstory. Recommend to casual and academic readers.
