CBS NEWS Repository: Archives & Special Collections, Charles Evans Inniss Memorial Library of Medgar Evers College, CUNY Location: CEIML ASPC, Suite 0108 Identifier: CEIML.CBS.014 Collection Title: CBS News Name of Creator(s): Elizabeth Dribben, 1937-2011 Inclusive Dates: Language(s): English Quantity: ca. 7 linear feet SCOPE AND CONTENT This collection contains actual news stories that were aired on CBS Network radio. HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE This collection is from the estate of Elizabeth Dribben. She was a longtime writer and producer for CBS News (network level) in NYC. Professor Dribben taught radio courses at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism after retiring from CBS. She collected materials she used while she was a producer for the late Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes fame. What she has bequeathed to MEC is a collection of actual news stories that were aired on CBS Network radio. (Mike Wallace was originally a radio reporter.) Some of those stories may also have been used for television. The wise professor can immediately see how each story was researched, organized, written and edited into the final script that was used on the air. Ms. Dribben specifically collected these materials to be used by future reporters in a classroom setting. They confirm to the essential genres a journalist must know – investigative, feature, political, social, and so on. She wanted MEC to have them because she knew a minority institution would be much less likely to have access to materials such as this.
