The Last Days of Film: And the Rise of Electronic News Gathering
The Last Days of Film: And the Rise of Electronic News Gathering
As a rookie medical reporter two decades ago, I was extraordinarily fortunate to have Russell Pyne shoot and produce so many of my early assignments. What a generous mentor! Although Russ was patient and supportive, eager to let me experiment, he was ruthless when it came to accuracy and clarity. Reading The Last Days of Film and the Rise of Electronic News Gathering immediately reminded me of his mastery as a broadcast video journalist because he applies that same scrupulous regard to the facts while crafting brilliant and passionate storytelling. Russell Pyne explores the evolution of the technology behind television news that spans over a century. Pyne introduces the reader to the genius engineers and the forward-thinking industry heroes, while separating the true disruptors from the gamblers and the bureaucrats. Pyne's detailed historical account is loaded with underappreciated discoveries, colossal egos, seething competitors, and the incredible fortunes funded by achievements, inexplicable coincidences and devastating miscalculations. On every page you will discover something you did not know about this vital industry that records and preserves our democracy. Here's some free advice from a doctor: Turn off the television and read this book!
