À propos de cet audio

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Starting this book was like being dropped into chapter 2 or 3 of a historical account… all context was missing. Sure, I get the drama of setting the stage in the heat of the story, then dropping back to explain what happened, but I still needed a sentence or two. I had no idea what MOVE was initially. I actually thought this was a story about ‘moving’ a building, or a building demolishment that went wrong, or some kind of social movement. Even the book’s description didn’t give me that. It wasn’t until I googled MOVE Philly that I understood the context. Aside of that, it was a good book.
