Presented by Film lecturer Brian Rose. Television news has undergone remarkable transformations in the last seven decades. Beginning with Camel News Caravan with John Cameron Swayze in 1948, evening newscasts drew tens of millions of viewers nightly and expanded from 15 minutes to 30 minutes when Walter Cronkite became the anchor of the CBS Evening News in 1963. With the launch of CNN in 1980, TV news expanded to 24 hours a day, seven days a week- and a new era in television journalism was born.

This presentation will look at the sweeping changes in television journalism over the last six decades.

Brian Rose is a professor emeritus at Fordham University, where he taught for 38 years in the Department of Communication and Media Studies. He's written several books on television history and cultural programming, and conducted more than a hundred Q&A's with leading directors, actors, and writers.
