Nightline's Success

Abstract: A 5 page paper discussing the late-night news show. Born of the Iran hostage crisis in 1979, the ABC news show has been running continually for 20 years with Ted Koppel as its anchor. The paper discusses the general liberal slant of most journalists, the effects of American families' hectic schedules on their ability to see network news, and Koppel's mastery of keeping passionate guests to the issues at hand as some of the reasons for the show's continued success. Koppel himself deserves much of the credit for the success of the show, and ABC will need to carefully select a successor when he retires. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
