Review # 1 was written on 2017-06-27 00:00:00 Christina Colby This is a fine overview of the Stimson/Bullitt family and their business ventures, especially in broadcasting. It mainly focuses on the TV side of their "communications empire," specifically KING-TV in Seattle, with brief mentions of KGW in Portland and briefer mentions of other stations. The book also talks about the life of Seattle magazine. Almost nonexistent is discussion of the radio side; once TV comes in to play, there's nearly no mention of their radio station(s) at all. So even though the book is supposed to be about the Bullitts' communication empire, it's mostly about KING-TV. It was sad toward the end, though, when the company begins going another direction and no longer seems to live up to the standards originally envisioned by the family. And it gets absolutely heartbreaking when you read about how the younger Dorothy Bullitt wanted to take over the family business, but the generation ahead of her wanted to sell it, so she never got her chance to lead King Broadcasting.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-10 00:00:00 Jist Benn A lot of great examples - but several of them had to many personal stories that did not contribute to the point. Actually a bit of a disappointing read.
