Doubling as a history of television news, this memoir takes the reader from the battlefields of Vietnam to the backwaters of Belize, from communist Russia to revolutionary Rhodesia. Utley (a television journalist) reflects on how the correspondent's role has shifted as centralized control, advanced technology, infotainment, and profits have altered the way television networks operate and the news is reported. A thirty-minute CD-ROM documentary of historic footage is also included. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
