Meet the Press: 50-Years of History in the Making

NBC News; Rick Ball

Synopsis:
Since its network premiere in 1947, Meet the Press has spotlighted more of this century's newsmakers than any other news show. Now, in an unprecedented move, Meet the Press marks it's 50-year anniversary as the country's longest-running political talk show by opening its archives: a wealth of rare photos, transcripts, and revealing behind-the-scenes anecdotes that recreate the program's history-making highlights. Featuring a forward by program moderator and NBC News Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert and new commentary by Bob Dole, Pat Moynihan, David Broder, and Robert Novak, Meet the Press: 50 Years in the Making celebrates the singular television program that not only examines groundbreaking world events, but also creates them.
