Liveshot: Journalistic Heroism in Philadelphia

Bullets flying. Choking teargas. Angry crowds chanting for justice. Eleven dead people, five of them children. This is the epic true story of the intrepid journalists of a Philadelphia television news department whose creativity and dedication brought the 1985 MOVE disaster to a live television audience. Told through the eyes of the field producer who coordinated much of the live coverage, Liveshot documents the step by step process the news staff of WCAU-TV followed to research the story, plan coverage and, most importantly, improvise as the story unfolded. The incredible team work of the reporters in the field, producers and editors in the newsroom and the managers in charge earned WCAU the Columbia-Dupont Award for excellence in journalism. Did local governments and police departments learn anything from the travesty that occurred in West Philadelphia in 1985? You be the judge. "The storytelling is compelling, emotional, and incredibly engaging from start to finish. It highlights not only the tragedy itself but also the dedication, teamwork, and courage of the journalists who brought the story to the public in real time. This is a must read for anyone interested in true stories, history, or journalism. It’s informative, thought provoking, and hard to put down. " ⭐️. ⭐️. ⭐️. ⭐️⭐️--Amazon Reader
