Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading. The idea is to give everyone a look inside the book you’re currently reading. Play along: grab your current read and open to a random page, share a few teaser sentences from that page, share the title and author so that other participants know what you’re reading.
“To me, the experience signaled the beginning of professional journalism’s transition to a moneymaking industry interested solely in the bottom line. Most photographers and reporters were still thoughtful, giving quarter to human needs and emotions, but they were on the brink of change, and we saw an inkling of it that day. In a dozen years, with the collapse of the Nixon presidency, journalism as a profession would sigh its last breath. From that point forward, the ambition of Hollywood journalists would be personal celebrity, not honest reportage.”
- Starmaker: Life as a Hollywood Publicist with Farrah, the Rat Pack and 600 More Stars Who Fired Me by Jay Bernstein (with Larry Cortez Hamm and David Rubini) (page 77 on Nook)
