THIS JUST IN he inside scoop on television news. The latest on Prime Time. And a fun way to watch Hank on Boston TV!
The fabulous Emily Rooney invited me to be on her award winning show "Greater Boston" to talk about books, television and books about television! As well as women on the news, ratings, and how the real world of TV compares to the fictional world of Prime Time. It's a fun interview...and you can download it here! Some of you might need to be a little patient...it might take a minute to download. (You can make a grocery list or something! And I promise, there'll be no commercials...) I've been awarded the current Edward R. Murrow Award for Best Investigative Reporting, as well as the Associated Press Award for Best Investigative Reporting. My hard-working producer Mary Schwager and I are so excited to receive these honors. We did a series of reports on the Fast Lane/ EZ PAss systemyou know the automatic toll boths you drive though? We found innocent drivers were getting fine-and-penalties notices for someone else's violations; that the system was failling to properly recognize license plates, thereby (again) causing the system to issue violations and fines to the wrong people; and that the system was also charging violations to innocent drivers not because the drivers were guilty, but because of the system's equipment was malfunctioning. (The company that caused many of these problems has just been fired by the state.) And more good news, Mary and I were also just nominated for four EMMY awardsincluding Best Investigative Reporting and Best Writing. I also got a separate nomination for Best Investigative Reporter. Gotta love my day job! To see our storiesyou can even watch the videosclick here: Free Ride Highway Robbery Toll Trouble Other fun stuff to watch!
