WBA NewsroomI’m talking about Katy Tur’s book “Unbelievable”. I paid for the Kindle download and read it this weekend. It’s full of great, “inside baseball” stuff about how network news really operates – which was more fascinating to me than the first-hand history Tur provides, regarding the Presidential campaign.
I don’t generally review books and seldom suggest a title for other people to read, but this book was far from a dry and wonky analysis of the most strange campaign ever run in political history. As working media, we don’t have time for a lot of recreational reading, because there’s so much work-related stuff to absorb. But Tur’s book is a real page-turner, well-written and appealing, with the kind of stories that any TV reporter will identify with.
Here’s a professional review of the book, from the Washington Post – although, reviewer Carlos Lozado really doesn’t “get it” about the behind-the-scenes TV stuff Tur writes about.
Put “Unbelievable” on your “must-read” list. You’ll enjoy it.
