From the author: A popular misconception about television news in this country is that it has always been built around a dominant anchor. This historical study reveals an important era in the mid-1940s at CBS when the focus was on visualization possibilities for each story. The crew first considered the newscaster a liability and concentrated on graphics, film, animation, and other visual tools; later experimenting with what kind of person suited the visual medium. While three anchors, (Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite, and Douglas Edwards), spanned 57 years at CBS, at least a dozen men sat in the chair from 1944 to 1948.
