 CJR - Books - Nightline: History in the Making..., by Ted Koppel
Koppel has proven himself the best live interviewer in the business, and Nightline has become the forum of choice for diplomats engaged in global negotiation and embattled public figures trying to save their necks.
Koppel is candid enough to admit that while he frequently consulted with his collaborator, "in the final analysis Kyle wrote it." This brings a certain degree of detachment to the inevitable self-congratulations involved in such an effort, and as the Berle anecdote suggests, the warts are not hidden.
The most compelling chapters -- those in which Koppel's voice is most clearly heard -- deal with the challenges and pitfalls of the live interview, a venue in which the editing, such as it is, has to be done in front of the audience.

 Ted Koppel's embarrassing debut as a Times columnist. - By Jack Shafer - Slate Magazine
As Koppel writes in yesterday's (Jan. 29) debut column, "And Now, a Word for Our Demographic," the invitation came from an "editor friend of mine," so the fault belongs to whoever assigned, accepted, and edited or rewrote Koppel's self-indulgent, self-congratulatory, late-to-the-party, and punishingly obvious 1,500-word piece about the state of television news.

 Ted Koppel's Opus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)

As clueless as it is, Ted’s Times op-ed is exceedingly useful in defining the mindset of the 21st century Journalism Establishment, which is just as hard-headed as the political cabal which journalists like the young Ted Koppel railed against back in the ‘60s and ‘70s.
