The Press and the Clinton Allegations. A Case Study
Description
If the Clinton/Lewinsky affair-officially broken to the world by The Washington Post-did not actually destroy the Clinton administration, it certainly did injure its credibility. Did the news media unwittingly play judge and jury through the way in which the story was covered? In this program, ABC News anchors Diane Sawyer and Sam Donaldson and correspondent Cynthia McFadden assess the reportage on this sensational issue and consider the influence on journalists of working in an ultra-competitive, deadline-driven industry crowded almost to saturation.
