About this ebook

What constitutes unbiased information vs. opinion disguised as facts? Why and how has what we watch become diluted, dramatized, and polarized? How have we arrived at this point? What was lost? What was gained? Through personal anecdotes, and a touch of humor, rooted in over 35 years of experience and laser-focused analysis, the author demonstrates how the television news landscape has changed and what this means for news gathering and reporting as well as for those watching at home. While the fringes on the left and the right expand, the unwavering center still delivers straightforward unbiased news, albeit packaged differently. The responsibility of discerning what we are taking in relies on us, the consumers: this book helps guide us to understand what we are being fed every day.

Tim Ortman

Tim Ortman has spent 35 years - a lifetime, working in television news, having worked for all major U.S television news networks (NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX) and the BBC. As an Emmy nominated and award-winning Cameraman and Producer, his understanding of the overall television production process is comprehensive; with four decades of experience shooting, lighting, editing, story editing, writing and producing. However, his chops were truly made on the front lines of news as part of the Foreign Press Corps. Based in Europe during the 80’s as an impressionable 20-something staff cameraman for NBC News, his understanding of and appreciation for the news biz was formed when the news biz was at its most trustworthy zenith.  His globe-trotting travels have taken him on assignments in five continents, covering everything from presidential elections to Papal visits, Olympiads to Olympic Park bombings, war, revolution, famine, terrorist attacks, Cold War Summits, the fall of Communism and the occasional press conference. He has been fortunate to have occupied a front row seat on numerous historically significant happenings.   Many of those stories are re-told, with an often-humorous reflection, in the pages within this, his memoir.  “All politics is local” …the same approach to news…local news as actually global news; events in Lebanon impacted the US and news in China had a ripple effect in America.”
