Unsilent Revolution: Television News and American Public Life, 1948–1991 (Woodrow Wilson Center Press) - Softcover
Synopsis
Unsilent Revolution is the story of the impact television news has had on politics, current events and the print media. Looking at major events over the past four decades, this work is an episodic history of the rise and ascendency of television news. Donovan and Scherer have used several unpublished journalists' accounts in this book, which differs from other studies in that it synthesizes scholarly sources along with first-hand experiences. Robert J. Donovan was chief of the Washington bureau of the New York Herald Tribune and the Los Angeles Times. He is currently a writer in Washington, D.C. Ray Scherer was a member of the NBC News Washington staff when its television broadcasts began in 1947. He was NBC's White House correspondent during the Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson administrations and, later, NBC London correspondent.

Book Description
An episodic history of the revolutionary effect of television news reporting on politics, current events and the print media over the past four decades combines research and analysis with personal as well as professional experiences.
From Library Journal
This is a thoroughly researched, well-written, yet disappointing volume. Its theme is that the advent of TV news changed America's social fabric, altered the way we elect presidents, destroyed major newspapers and magazines, while modifying the way all surviving publications now present the news. TV news, we are told, has become a multiarmed monster of influence embracing all the world. That's true, but such conclusions are hardly revelatory. Donovan (formerly New York Herald Tribune / Los Angeles Times ) and Scherer (ex-NBC News) have quoted dozens of books and articles reaching the same conclusion but have added little new of their own. Recommended only as an updated compilation.
