It also includes planting grass and shrubbery and constructing sidewalks and seating. He said the project should be finished by May, depending on weather conditions. Dr. Ralph Taylor, associate dean of the College ofScience, said the front entrances to the building will be open following the landscaping completion. wrhe front en­ trances have been blocked for four or five years," he said.

  • The History of CBS New York Television Studios: 1937-1965
    1 The History of CBS New York Television Studios: 1937-1965 By Bobby Ellerbee and Eyes of a Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgements This is the first known chronological listing that details the CBS television studios in New York City. Included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes of a Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to CBS Television theaters. This compilation gives us the clearest and most concise guide yet to the production and technical operations of television’s early days and the efforts at CBS to pioneer the new medium. This story is told to the best of our abilities, as a great deal of the information on these facilities is now gone…like so many of the men and women who worked there. I’ve told this as concisely as possible, but some elements are dependent on the memories of those who were there many years ago, and from conclusions drawn from research. If you can add to this with facts or photos, please contact me, as this is an ongoing project. (First Revision: August 6, 2018). Eyes of a Generation would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present CBS people that helped, but most especially to television historian and author David Schwartz (GSN), and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first-hand knowledge, photos and help. Among the distinguished CBS veterans providing background information are Dr. Joe Flaherty, George Sunga, Dave Dorsett, Allan Brown, Locke Wallace, Rick Scheckman, Jim Hergenrather, Craig Wilson and Bruce Martin.

    Center for Justice & Democracy P.O. Box 3326 Church St. Station New York, NY 10008-3326 Tel: 212.267.2801; Fax: 212.764.4298 [email protected] http://centerjd.org November 27, 2002 Don Hewitt, Executive Producer 60 Minutes 524 West 57th St. New York, NY 10019 VIA FACSIMILE 212/757-6975 Dear Mr. Hewitt: As the President of a public interest organization that closely tracks civil justice issues and works hard to dispel myths about the civil jury system (and a former television producer myself), I was absolutely appalled by Morley Safer’s piece last Sunday called, Jackpot Justice. For years, I have respected your show as a paragon of journalistic integrity. In the 1980s, 60 Minutes engaged in some ground-breaking journalism with correspondent Ed Bradley and producer David Gelber that exposed myths about juries and the civil justice system, which were then and continue to be perpetuated by the insurance industry, drug companies, tobacco companies, medical lobbies and other special interests seeking to limit their liability from lawsuits. But Mr. Safer’s segment (which comes less than one month after Andy Rooney’s reckless rant, “I’m Going to Sue” – see attached response to Mr. Rooney) was one of the most specious, shoddy, grossly unfair and frankly racist pieces of tabloid journalism I have ever seen on television. Consumer groups around the country are attempting to fight a mammoth, multi-million-dollar corporate PR and lobbying effort, headed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other corporate-backed organizations, to weaken the civil justice system and limit liability for corporate misconduct.

  • 60Minutes Case Study
    Case Study provided by Stephen Taylor i) Name of Organization 60 Minutes 524 West 57th St. New York, NY 10019 www.60minutes.com http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/60minutes/main3415.shtml ii) Nature of the work: 60 Minutes is a news magazine program that focuses on reporter-centered investigation. Its format generally consists of three in-depth, long-form news stories that either undertake their own investigations, or expand upon stories currently being reported in the news. These stories - many of which focus on allegations of illegalities or corruption in corporate or government settings - usually rely heavily on interviews with individuals relevant to the subject, either on the accusatory side or the defensive side. 60 Minutes is somewhat unique for the amount of time usually devoted to showing interview footage itself, rather than providing soundbites with acocmpanying commentary. Outside of these more invstigative-styled segments, 60 Minutes will presents profiles, or biographies, of celebrities, politicians, or exceptionally newsworthy individuals. The final element of the 60 Minutes program is a closing segment by the commentator, Andy Rooney, usually lasting no longer than 3-5 minutes. The segments tend to be light-hearted, though can vary widely, covering topics such as international relations, elections, popular culture, and are marked by Rooney's own personal idiosyncratic take on life. 60 Minutes occupies a vital place in the television landscape, and serves a valuable role in the poduction community. While similar shows have come and gone, 60 Minutes has maintained a steady presence as a serious journalistic program with an eye toward securing the public good through holding government officials and corporations accountable for their actions.
